Angry Someone stole my B-Pillars last nite...

So when I got out of the bar my z was tampered with.. someone pulled off both sides of my b-pillars That being said I called up my local stealership and they said it would be approx. $83 for each side to get replaced I did a search in the for sale section but didn't find anything.. Anyone know a site to get these things for much cheaper And is this a common thing that gets stolen off our cars?

I did not know they were removable. What would a thief do with them?

Put them on his own Z? Aren't the A pillars just as easy to remove without opening the door? ...I might need a new pair and there are about 3 stock Z's a few blocks from me...

Yeah the only have 3 clips all you need is a flathead screwdriver and you can just pop it off. I didn't know it was so easy till I took mine off to get wrapped in CF.

They will be shipped to you ASAP man glad I could help.

my buddy had his 350 broken into and all of his speakers and amps were stolen.. long story short.. they ripped off the b pillars and popped the door open through there somehow. really sucky but at least you didn't get anything stolen. best luck finding replacements

I believe they are pretty easy to remove. I'm guessing someone wanted/needed set and decided to permanently borrow yours.

At least it wasn't your door handles.
