Ok here is all you guys been waiting for. Complete DIY and feel free to ask questions if you have any.

**IF YOU GET SUPER GLUE TO A PLACE ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE CF. PLEASE WIPE IT UP WITH WD-40 REALLY QUICK BEFORE IT'S BURNED INTO THE CLEAR.

FIRST OF ALL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE PARTS
2 CF B PILLARS
SMALL SET OF FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER
LOCTITE ULTRA GEL SUPER GLUE $2 OR $3 AT TARGET OR WALMART
3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE (HEAVY DUTY)
2 CLIPS FROM NISSAN PARTS PART#: 76988-4N00
(IF YOUR A FIRST TIME DIYER. PLEASE BUY 3 OR 4) BTW $5 BUCKS EACH. SO $20 TOTAL. DEALER WILL BS YOU SAYING IT'S $7 BUT TELL THEM YOU WANT THE COST PRICE. NOT RETAIL.
PAIR OF REALLY SHARP SCISSORS

1. Remove the OEM B Pillar by opening the door and slowing just start pulling on the B Pillar. You do have to put some muscle behind them because they are pretty tough to pull out.

Should look like this

REPEAT FOR PASSENGER SIDE

2. After pulling off the B Pillar, pull the 2 weather strips off of each OEM B Pillars and glue them or tape them on to the new CF B Pillar like so

The one on the left has the weather strip glued. Sorry jumped the gun and lined up the passenger side too

3. After gluing down the weather strips, return to your car's b pillar and pop all the clips back in like so

4. After you have them popped in, cut 4 strips of 3M tape and tape them together, and another set of 4, and one set of 3. After you have them cut out and taped. Tape them on to the clip's backing like so

5. Remove the top red backing and line up your B pillar and press hard around those 3 clips area and peel the CF b pillar away and you'll see the 3M has now transfered onto the back of the CF b pillar showing you exactly where those clips are. remember if your facing the car, peel from your left to right.

VOILA! Repeat for other side as well.

6. now go inside and sit down put on some gloves

time for gluing. So just use a lot of glue to hold down the 3M tape to the back of the CF b pillar. here 2 quick videos

7. Let the super glue dry for about 10 min, if the sun is out you can leave them out in the sun to bake for 5 min to speed up the process. After it's dry ( I use a toothpick to test it ) You're ready to pop those bad boys on your car.

Here are the 5 part DIY in video. Sorry didn't have any hand to hold the camera during the tear down, but there are some explanation in here as well. Please don't mind my exciteness lol. AND REMEMBER TO REP POINT IF YOU FIND IT HELPFUL!
