Most of the members here have updated their B-Pillars to either Carbon Fiber look or Vinyl but I wanted more of an M5 Gloss look . Bought a set from ebay of high gloss piano BLACK polycarbonate pillars and got them in couple of days

The cutting is 94% close to oem. The covers are pretty thin but I am sure they can be thinner for more flush look. To be honest they look better than I expected and I am really liking the gloss look, like it comes in the M5s

Would I buy it again? YES
How is the quality? Good, but only time will tell

What change would I make? Maybe improve the fitment a little, lines on top are not as close to oem. Also if possible make the covers thinner. I think there is room

Beautiful!

Now just gotta do the same thing for the shadowline trim

 

+1 but i doubt to find anything for it. I would love to change the entire matte trim to gloss black, but dont wanna spend $700+

i did the same thing to my car...hi-gloss back on all the pillars and the shadowline trim too. i did mine with Oracal vinyl. i loved it, it came out very clean!


this solution looks amazing too.

 

Looks good. think ill change my trim to gloss black.

I have bought matte shadowline trim, but thinking now I might get my black grill and shadowline trim painted gloss black. Has anyone done that?

You could always paint it gloss black

 

that sounds like a good idea.. any more info?

 

My trim is pretty messed up, is this the entire trim or just a vinyl cover? I had bought the carbon fiber ones recently and they didn't fit well at all.
