Chrome Pillars from Ebay

Hey all, I just installed chrome pillars from ebay, figured I'd show you all how they look. To be honest, I don't like the way chrome looks right against the brushed aluminum, but from far away I think it makes the car look much better. At least it's another thing to make my GLK look cooler/different compared to the many others I keep seeing on the road!

to each his own, but I really like the stock glossy pillars that blend with tinted windows. Not sure if these fake stick ons make GLK look cooler, not to me.

yep to each his own, just figured I'd post them so others could get the chance to see how they look. Also, they are of pretty high build quality and are a thin sheet of metal, not a fake plastic chrome. I was also beginning to hate how every person getting in and out of the car would leave finger smudges all over the black glossy pillars; to me these make the car look a bit cleaner.

Looks good. I don't like the black glossy pillar because it seems to be a scratch magnet.

Visibly breaks up the paneled side windows a little too much for my taste, especially on the rear doors.... sorry....
