I had a few scratches on my door pillars that drove me nuts! You saw them every time you opened the door.
I didn't want to have to paint them or replace the pillars, so I thought I would try and give it a shot and put pillar covers on them and it turned out great! (imo)
what do you think?
I personally like the reflective black piano finish. I am not one for the carbon fiber look, so these worked out great!
And, they seem to be very durable and dress the doors up a little.

here is where I got them:
BMW 5 Series 4DR 04 10 E60 M5 Black Pillar Covers Scratch Resistant Post Trim B | eBay

 

I think it looks good, except that chrome trim needs to be wrapped in gloss black or painted IMO. how about a pic a little further away?
I helped ya' out and rotated it for you loll

 

thanks! I just noticed it was rotated. :-)
I'll take a further away picture.
I kinda like the chrome on black look though.

 

 

how about that third pillar on the side of the car, behind the back door's window. Does the kit include that overlay ?
i was thinking about doing this on my e39. wrap the trim and pillars in this stuff. From the ebay auction, it appears to be vinyl of some sort?

 

Nice mod!

 

Yes, the last "thin" pillar on the rear passenger doors has the cover as well.
They are thick vinyl. they have a bit of a "give" to them if you press hard enough, which I like because I am always grabbing the pillar to shut the door and scrape it with my ring.

 

Thanks IvoryJ!

 

I love it. Great find. Thanks for sharing. A must have on a jet black car

 

Did they fit ok? I had bought the CF ones a while back and they were completely the wrong size.
