Default TheZStore carbon fiber B pillars

Does anyone have the carbon fiber B pillars from TheZStore?
http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/BSC10/50-3069
This kit is the B pillars as well as the A pillar sail panels for a pretty good price I think.

How is the quality compared to Nismo and Varis? They are a lot cheaper and they offer them in silver carbon fiber which I am thinking of picking up. Anyone have experience with these?

Thanks for the reply, sorry to hear this because the price is sweet. I was really hoping to get the B pillars wrapped in silver carbon fiber, and Nismo and Varis only come in black carbon.....Maybe tonester1011 can help me out. I'll have to PM him.

I've had my Nismo ones for about a year w/o any fading or anything. I havent seen any of the colored ones before on a car, but I think the regular carbon ones looks great.

I have both pillars in silver as above. Great fit, colour and look. There has been no change in appearance since I put them on approx 12 months ago. Good luck.

I see you have a silverstone just like me, would you be able to post a pic so I can see what the silver carbon fiber will look like on a silverstone Z? Thanks in advance.

We carry the Nismo b-pillars, the EVO-R b-pillars, and another brand (who makes all the colored b-pillars. We have never had any complaints with any of the b-pilars we offer. The ones that you are looking into, SILVER. That company does agreat job of clearing the carbon with a nice polyurathane.
It will not fade.

I have them. They look nice. But... I notice I am getting white spots all over them. If I dont wax them you get white spots. I may be the only person experiencing this though.

I had Varis CF "B" pillars for at least 4 years on my '03 and they dulled a little but otherwise were fine. I think I used a cleaner/wax on them once and that helped.

All exterior Carbon parts need to be waxed, just like your paint does.
