Do you have a pic of these? I'd love to replace these with CF (because it is a subtle upgrade) but I would like something with OEM quality. I've seen the Rotary FX vents and they look a little cheap, especially when they begin to fall off.

I'll pay $500 for legitimacy before I pay $100 for something that is trumped by OEM in quality. I've not been impressed with the Evo-R quality parts. I feel like their carbon products could be improved upon by someone with paint cutting skills...

I agree with that statement entirely, my EVO-R parts(b-pillars, mirror covers) have lasted no more than a yr tops, without yellowing, peeling, bubling, of which my b pillar's top coat peeled in multiple areas, when washng my car I have sliced my fingers multiple times.

Do u know of any CF ones that look like the picture above Dmedz or what make yours was? I have been trying to look for the 6 clips like the OEM that are CF and have an aggressive look, but the best i could find were these with 3 clips and glue.

I bought some piano black vinyl to wrap the silver beams on my console (looks awesome) and I was thinking of covering my B-pillars in the same stuff. It seems durable and I would imagine that it will cling to the side in about the same fashion as any other vinyl graphic. First I'm going to shave the highpoints and fill the lowpoints in the matte vinyl remove the current matte vinyl so that it will look even. I expect that all I will need is an x-acto knife or razor blade. (And a sunny day in Seattle)
What I'm getting at is this... I'll post pics when I'm done, and if you want, I'll send you enough to do your B-pillars, too.

i had the non carbon fiber ones from evo-r. the fitment was horrible and they ended up in the garbage. If you want the carbon spend the money and get the Auto Bahn ones through japan parts.

i did get mine new but not through Jay at less cost, but if i paid full price i would have been even more upset. I would have got the Autobahn ones if i didnt find a set of accolade fenders at a dirt cheap price. Also have a buddy lined up to do the work to set these poor fitting things to fit if needed. From what i have read they will need it.
