Gauging interest: Custom Carbon Fiber Door Pillars for 96-02 and 03+ 4Runners

4th gen 4Runner owners have been asking for more items to help customize their vehicle. I may have something that is really cool.

Real carbon fiber door pillars that are made to go on your EXTERIOR B pillars. These will cover your existing plastic pieces (with the bumps) on your stock pillars while making your truck a little sportier. Subtle, classy, unique.

UV protected pieces that will not yellow or fade over time. The 3M backing will be spaced in from the edges of the pieces -- This prevents dust/dirt from collecting on edges. Edges are also tapered down where the clear coat ends giving a nice & "finished" look. This is the same way the dash kits are done.

I've had these custom made for some Titan owners and they love them. I can have them made for the 4Runner if there is interest.

I'm not sure yet. Anytime something is done custom it's more since it's not mass produced. This will be a unique item that you won't find anywhere else. Same quality as the dash kits. I will add more when I know more.

That looks kinda cool Jason but if they cover the stock textured plastic, they are going to stick out way too far dont you think? Can they be made to replace?

I've been selling these for other models and they look great. They go on overtop and flow very nicely.
