sometimes on ebay, there are "carbon fiber" overlays for that. they used to be on PFYC, but I don't think they have them anymore. plain and simple, overlays are available, but you have to look really hard.

IMO, chrome wouldn't look good unless you have chrome elsewhere on the car (ie door handles, rims, etc)

I would not use chrome. Check out grafxworks.com, they have paint matched or plain black ones.

Chrome and paint matched B-pillars look terrible. Black or carbon fiber overlay is the way to go.

if they aren't genuine CF I'll do em for you... actually, if they are just CF printed vinyl... i can gaurantee the stuff i have looks more realistic, as it's off a photo. could do plain black as well, and could dome them so it's a little more 3d like the resin over CF. spose i could put an olds logo or something else if you'd be interested on the bottom.

i would like some carbon fiber stuff for my grand prix, like the vinyl for the DOOR FRAME APPLIQUES, or make it easier how about a roll of vinyl call it a day

well what I've been doing is printed an image of CF on a solvent ink printer onto vinyl and making my own realistic CF vinyl. the stuff that sign shops and internet vinyl stores carry just doesn't cut it IMO. but i usually only print a couple feet at a time as i need it... It's not a cheap way to do it, rather quite expensive compared to regular vinyl... but it looks better than the genaric stuff.
