I dont see their purpose and i cant imagine them being very inexpensive, but I guess if any can can pull them off it would be yours.

i forgot which company made a cf panel for the whole pillar. not just a little 1x3 cf panel. it goes from the tip of the fender/side mirror all around to the bpillar. sorry i don' t know the correct terms.

i think it's a little excessive for little details like that. you can't call it ricer but its not really cool either.

gogo make us some cf difussers for the front and back, those little cf things on the side of the bumper for front downforce and cf gt adjustable wing.

they would look good on your car... then to finish off the cf theme... make your roof carbon fibre! ive seen it done on a s14 somewhere... not really completely carbon fibre... but a sheet that was laid over it....

I'm not a big fan of carbon fiber but whatever helps out the nissan community. I would rather like to see some replica wind/rain guards before a carbon fiber pillar.

ditto^

But, to me, the b-pillars would only look good on an already highly modded exterior car. I dont think they'd sell that well. Original and neat though...

just wrap your existing panel with cf sticker/vinyl save some money. it's not like it's going to be a big "weight reduction".. especially with the crappy fiberglass molded wet carbon fiber we have over here in the US/partially third world labor.

i can understand if it's a metal part that replacing the whole part would save weight but theres no point to something that's like plastic.

Yes, your car would look great with it... but it already looks great without it. You could probably run your exhaust thru smoke stacks and half the owners here would still like it. I personally think it would confuse the whole two tone look by breaking up the solid black. The solid black on blue works. Just my opinion. Will work either way...
