In order to have the rear fog light switch I installed match the color of the dash lighting, I swapped out the red switch for an orange switch. It definitely matches better than the red one did.

That looks so money! So much better, and the idea of useable switches there makes it very tempting to purchase. Does it stay illuminated all the time or is it on/on off/off?

It's only illuminated when the rear fog light is on.

Great looking ride man! What LEDs did you use on the parking lights?

Went to the monthly Socal Z meet over the weekend for the first time. Good times. It was nice to meet some fellow Z owners.

Where did you get the carbon fiber overlay for the b pillars?

The material is 3M Di-Noc and I bought it on eBay. Just be careful on eBay and make sure that the listing states that it is 3M material. There are a lot of knock-offs.

Did you pop off the b pillar to do it?

No, you don't need to remove it.
Wrapping the b-pillar wasn't too difficult. You'll need a vinyl squeeqee, an exacto knife, and a heat gun (or a hair dryer will work). I started by tracing out the b-pillar on a blank piece of paper. I then cut out the trace and used it as my template. I cut out the Di-Noc material using the template leaving about a half inch of material on each side of the template so that I could use the excess to wrap around the edges of the b-pillar. Once you have the Di-Noc material cut out, use the heat gun to warm up the material. The heat makes the material extremely easy to work with. Stick the material to the b-pillar and use the squeegee to work out any air bubbles or any other imperfections. Remember to keep using the heat gun. It will make the material much more workable. Once all of the air bubbles have been worked out, use the squeegee to wrap the edges of the material around to the back side of the b-pillar. At the corners you will have to use the exacto knife to cut away some of the material. Also, on the side of the b-pillar facing the rear of the car, I used the exacto knife to carefully cut the material right where the b-pillar meets the rubber seal. I didn't want to ruin the rubber seal trying to wrap the material behind the b-pillar on that side. Here are the squeeqees that I used on the install.
