B-Pillars after removing CF overlays...
Until a few days ago, I had CF overlays installed on my B-pillar panels. After they had been on the car for several months, the clear rubber coating had started to crack and just generally look nasty, so I decided to remove them.
Unfortunately, quite a bit of the 3M tape is still stuck to the b-pillars, and will not come off easily. I can scrape at it with my fingernails, but that will take a long time to complete.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to easily remove the adhesive?
Also, where can I just purchase OEM replacements, and how much?

3M spray adhesive remover will take anything off. and want damage you car.
it turns adhesive in to like a jelly substance.
i had to use two cans of it to get the adhesive from my clear bra off my car
good stuff

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm going to go look for some adhesive remover today.
I want to stay away from the carbon look now that I've got my windows tinted (finally haha). I think the black windows with the black b-pillar make it look like there's one big window on the side, it seems to almost stretch the car out a bit...
Plus I spent $100 on the last pieces from Performance Nissan and they looked like crap after about 7 months.
