I did and after a while the get hazy and I had trouble trying to clean them. Also, they are very bulky looking once applied.

I went with these now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-06...ht_2140wt_1165

They look way better.

I had them on for about 6 months and when I went to take them off, some came off easy but others where a PITA. My pillars were not painted or glossy to begin with, but I did end up scratching the pillars upon removing them.

So just buy black gloss 3m-dinoc and DIY. Buy enough to cover all of them and if you dont like it will easily come off. Durable and easy to clean. PM your email and I can show you how mine looks when I get home later.

i always liked the 10 pc carbon fiber kit. I installed on my x and it was pretty impressive. gave a nice sporty look. the black ones will stain over time and look not so new. jmo
