Contact Bat (Blue Batmobile) @ dubbleA@peoplepc.com. He can custom make them for you.

either or... cf overlay would be nicer because it'll be an easier fit and i only need to replace one of the pillars... it flew of the HWY.

Are BlueBat's overlays REAL cf?

No. It's a Vinyl Overlay.

Question though...how the hell does your A-Pillar fly off the car??? Or am I missing something?

yea, how did it fly off? Did the actually a pillar fly off? If so, and overlay wont cover it up. You would need either a new a pillar or a real cf a pillar that will cover it up and look like stock.

i'm still dumbfounded - i'll take pics of it when i go into the body shop...

i hear flutter... then whooosh the thing goes flying off - the clips got broken off the actual thing.. it'll make more sense once you guys see pics... i will be talking to the dealer about this - reason i'm going w/ the CF (or thinking) is to eliminate the pain in the *** for paint matching the sparkle/pearl that was added to my original red line red...

sorry! that you would have to have made by somone. Personally, I would advise against it, as it would show alot of glare in the windshield

Bats, are your overlays "real carbon" or "printed carbon"?

here are a few pics of the car (with and without the a pillar lol)







do you guys think the CF A-Pillars will add or take away? (from what already is rather two tone lol) ~

you can sorta see the custom sparkles in the last pic... a few shops tried to match and it did not come out similar... hence why the car's now two tone LOL - but I'm thinking with the A-Pillar being such a small piece, it wouldn't make a huge difference if the sparkles were a bit off.
