Default Carbon Fiber B Pillars?

I recently wrapped a set of a Pillars in textured dry carbon fiber vinyl-

I'm looking for pictures of a carbon fiber (resined, real) set of B-Pillars, for comparison's sake... I've heard they exist, but can't find anything.

I like how you wrapped the lower portion of the grill. On the other examples you posted prior to this thread, I just thought there was too much carbon, but this is perfect. I really like the carbon pillars as well.

Can you post pictures up if you get the chance to wrap a sedan?

Hahaha..that was my idea. Exactly what I asked you if you could do for my FBP grill. Good to see how it will look.

I don't think anyone makes resin CF pillars. I think they are all stickers.

It's a vinyl print they wrap over the parts.

If you want it as real looking as possible without buying actual carbon fiber (we sell CF front grilles for just under $200), you can have your part dipped (Hydrographics)

hydro dipped has no texture, and will not reflect light like carbon fiber, or the textured vinyl does.

although, hydrodipping is flipping sweet.

that is going to save some major weight and lower the center of gravity. I joke, actually that looks pretty nice. I'm a big fan of that car, the R 20 in the car actually has a fair amount to give at the top end. As far as I know, no parts exist for just the pillar.
