Exterior door pillar replacement?

Does anyone know how to remove/replace the exterior black door pillars between the windows? I tried a search and didnt find anything. When I bought the car, the drivers side was chipped and I would like to get a new one or replace them all with carbon fiber if they are available. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try EBay. Type in W203 Carbon fiber. I've seen them before.

They are stuck on, that is double face tape. Removing them will damage them.

I don't want to do the ebay stick on type. I am just going to replace the chipped on with a new one as sson as I find out the easiest way to get the old one off.

you have to break the old one to get it off (pry it off) then clean up the area and reinstall the new one. and body shop can do this work for you, as they have to be replaced when repainting.

You should make a mold of some of the oem ones and make a carbon fiber copy. Check out the vids. You can even do a carbon fiber overlay on original pieces if you want to.
