Alright, who wants to give me their CF pillars for free under the condition that I pay for shipping? Because unlike Jimmy, I still have a BEnz to put them on 
A black one at that!

BTW, shiney or not, the shade you've chosen looks good (although a matching blue CF would have been even tighter). Just out of interest does the aftermarket pillars have smooth surface or are they "lumpy"/textured like the OEM ones?
Shane you gotto post pics of your car - I don't think I've seen a blue one (W210) in here yet

Do these things replace the factory units or install on top of them? Having trouble finding the factory units from E55.
Again, how do these things attach to the doors?

Do the carbon fiber-look door pillars attach with the two screws like on the factory ones (one screw at top, one at bottom).
Does anyone have a part number for the factory E55 carbon fiber B-pillars?

I bought a set a few months ago and the fit is horrible. They are around 1/4" too short so there is a space between the carbon fiber and that rubber seal on the top and bottom. I never installed them because it would look bad. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone.

Hey Blown:
You bought a set of factory pillars or aftermarket? Are you saying the factory pillars fit poorly? How could that be? Where did you get them? How much?

Sucess!.......(I think ??)
My parts guy at the dealer has a set of black carbon-fiber door pillars from an E55 ordered. Will be in Monday. With my "discount," they are $128 per side. I will let you know how they look, if they fit, etc.
Will also try to furnish part numbers for you guys.
