A-Pillars blacked out?
A thought came to me this morning.... Has someone wrapped/painted their A-pillars in gloss black? I know folks have wrapped/painted their roof in gloss black (esp on pearl white Z, looks hot), but has anyone done their A-pillars instead, and maybe left their roof stock color? It would give the look of a "wraparound" windshield, ala GTR.
Can someone do a good photoshop (I suck) of this on the Z? Doesn't matter the color of the Z... white preferrable, but don't have to be... What do you guys think? would it look good? or ghetto?

Only if the hole top half of the car was done. That would be hood, roof, and hatch. Tha's the only way it would work IMO.

^ Thanks Econ.... this is the better pic I saw on that thread
I dunno... I don't like it. I think I am thrown off by dark rims and door handles (not a fan of either of those), plus the red color I can't picture my own white car.... I might have to try this photoshop myself.... hmmmmmmmmmm

^ I agree.... something about it doesn't look right. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the fenderline/opening between the door and front fender doesn't line up with the a-pillar. Also, the a-pillar extends into the hood territory... making it look choppy if blacked out.
So yeah, thumbs down for me.
