Door Pillar Covers

[Racy Jace]

Hi, I did some photshopping and have decided I want some door pillar covers.

Is there anywhere else that does them apart from K-Tec Racing? Their`s dont seem to fit as good as I`d like as I dont want the paint showing on the edges.

After

K-tec Is ok but I dont want the paint showing round the edges.

If you know of any places please let me know.

Cheers

Jason

Were those the K-Tec ones? If not were did you get them from?

Cheers

i know a guy that seels sheets of self adhesvie carbon in whatever colour type etc you want. Make some paper templates yourself and then just cut out the shape with a pair of scissors.

Cheers, Im gonna try a numplate/sign making company on friday and see what he says. Im sure they do a carbon fiber effect and the plotter should do a neater job than my cutting out.

If the sign company is no good, Ill see if I can get a template made up and if that looks ok , ill give it a go with that link you gave.

Cheers bud.

not too keen on the silver cars but they look very well on your 182 mate go for it

Ive got to go back to the sign place next week as they`re well busy but Ill keep you informed.

 

[Racy Jace]

I just fitted these. I had a go and made them my self.

 

[leo529]

u cutted them urself?^^^^^

 

[Racy Jace]

Yeah I cut them myself. It was my first attempt and they have a couple of bubbles but ill do them all again once the weathers better.

I want to do something similar to hide a nasty pillar dent - luckily my car is black so don't have to worry about perfect alignment.

 

[Final Maxim]

Mates rates?

 

[Racy Jace]

Mates rates?

Id suggest buying the vinyal from ebay and having ago your self as its not that hard.

Id be happy to do other peoples cars if they`ve got the vinyal. I know where I went wrong with mine so hopefully I wont get any bubbles the next time I do mine again. They do look pretty good in the flesh though so they can stay on for the time being

looks lovely! just a quick one though, where did you get the sign writing done? :rasp:

 

[Racy Jace]

lol :lolup:

Theres a great sign writing place in Kingswinford (Sure Signs) They did my Celica and impreza and did a top job. I was hoping theyd do the door pillars for me but they were busy. They did give me the material for free to have ago myself which seemed to have worked.

At the top of the page 2nd pic down, "After" is what I did using photoshp to get an idea of what it would look like. I think the actual finished result is quite close to the photoshop versison

Ive a new camera now so Ill try on in the day when Ive washed the car
