I'm wondering if anyone has tried these out before and how it turned out:

I hate the matte black plastic pillars that are giant finger print magnets. These would solve that problem, but I'm not sure if they look cheap or out of place.

i've seen them on a e39 m5 and they looked pretty good, but that car also had some other cf parts on the exterior for the pillars to match. do you have any other cf parts?

or if its if very glossy and looks like high gloss shadowline from an e60 m5, then it might look ok by themselves too.

I have cf pillars put on my car. They look real nice, just an added extra to stand out from the rest.

Yeah, I'm hoping they look like the M5 glossy back pillars.

Jetblack530i- do you have any pics that you mind sharing? I'm wondering how thick the pieces are and if they seem to protrude a little. If not, I think I'm going to get them.

Thanks!

They are pretty flush with the door. It looks almost stock if not for the cf. I can take pics but still having problems uploading on this site. "not to good with computers"

i wouldn't do it, i bought them from ebay too it actually looks nice on the car the first few months, afterwards the carbon fiber it gets scratched up, it looks nasty, that's my opinion. Save your 80 dollars for gas.
