I just did mine, all you do is clean the door pillars with alcohol let dry and then stick on the CF pillars and enjoy.

No, they just stick on the existing pillars. So make sure you get the super thin ones.

I'd recommend removing the old ones before placing the new ones on. You can use floss or fishing line to get in between the 3M tape and vehicle and use goo gone or adhesive remover to get rid of the residue. We do offer door pillar replacements for your car with 3M preinstalled tape as well.
