Looks pretty good from a distance but up close it probably could look like ass if not installed right. Air bubbles, creases etc. I take it the sun made it look different up close. What do you guys think?

Not too bad for the price. Not all colors are available though
I like the look of the panels color matched. I have an extra set of panels that I'm going to paint to match.

i would say paint them.... then it will look better.... and prolly last longer.

They don't have Atlantic Blue or else I'd think about it too. The only reason that these might be better would be if you aren't sure, its easier to reverse than painting them.

I'm not a fan. That break was made black for a reason: to hide it.

I don't like colored B pillars. I'm starting to hate mines.
Black B pillars look the best.

colored pillars destroy the "shape" of the car. black windows + black pillars is the best.

I wish that there had been a factory option concerning the B pillars; since my car is black, I would have opted for no covers if I had had a choice.

disagree. dodge's cheap quality on those things kills a car imo. even if they are clean.

They look cheaper painted IMO, they totally ruin the lines of the car. It's supposed to be black there....looks terrible if it's not. Same way the mirror bases don't look right painted. It messes with the cars lines to me.

I never said I was going to do it. More I look at it the more akward it looks. At first glance I think its pretty clean.

I'm with ya'. Carbon should be reserved for areas where it's actually of a weight savings benefit. Replacing 5"x3" plastic components with composite parts = fail.
