Body-Matched A-Pillar garnishes - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Koala Yummies · 06-15-2011, 05:07 PM

Decided to have a set of A-pillar garnishes painted to match the car. I was having a new rear bumper painted anyway, (no collision, removing mudflaps

) and decided to throw these in as well to get painted, I still have the original set too. I really like how they look on the pair of HPD race cars.

Removal/installation is really simple. Just carefully pull upwards/back (parallel with angle of the garnishes). Clips stay in the body, but are removed by turning them.

Since there were a few threads asking about this, but no photos yet I though I'd share these.

Stock reference:

EDIT:

I've been getting a few PMs every so often asking about the removal/installation so I decided to include a picture of the instructions:

That looks soooooo much better! I am so doing this

That looks awesome! Any plans to vinyl the roof?

Was thinking this might look good. Def changes the look. Not sure which way i like more though.

I cant figure out what you changed.. im confused

Thats awesome.

And I agree with dripkit: if you carbon vinyl the roof now, the arches going front to back would look excellent.
