Vinyl B-pillar?

Posted By: Greenbird On: 05-15-2008 @ 23:09:54         Reply | Edit
Since it looks like I'll be keeping my car now. I need to upgrade it somehow. Here's my thought. Do a vinyl overlay on the b-pillar and black it out. Is this possible.Can anybody photochop my sig as well? Wanting this kind of look:

I think it was standard on the V8 camaros. I know my friends SS is black. you could just swipe one off of one of them at a junk yard.

^ That's what I was thinking too. Paint is so...permanent.

The picture I posted is vinyl, not paint. I know it will never look as good as paint either, but I think it can still look pretty good.

Kinda hard to chop since I am not the best with keeping the "reflectivity" the same after darkening. When I made the pillar darker, it made it stick out way too much since it was coming out much more black than reflecting the way your windows look. I even put the pillar from my car onto yours, but it still didnt look right. By right, I mean the way I would imagine it would look in real life. Anyways, in the first picture I basically took the color from your rear window and expanded it. The other two are my pillar pasted over.
