Hey guys,

I've had these Overlays and the grille sitting around for a month or so. They arrived at my door around a week after I got into an accident. So I just finished installing everything 15 minutes ago.

First up,

Burtman Industries (Jason B over here) - Carbon Fiber B Pillar Overlays (M45 style)

The reason I got these was because my B Pillars were scratched up and stained.




Here is a side-by-side comparison





Here is a shot of them further away, I forgot to flip the picture when I uploaded it so you'll have to bend your necks.





Review
Looks = 5/5 - As you can see, they look great. I think they'll be a good conversational piece.

Fit and Finish = 5/5 - Fits 100%. The only problem I had was being impatient and not lining it up correctly before removing the tape. Just had to pull it up again.

Cost = 3/5 - A bit pricey, but I like them.

Install = 5/5 - Peel and stick, enough said.

Packaging = 5/5 - Undamaged, fast delivery.

Note*** Just noticed this now since it's night time, if any of you have dark tint 15% or lower (I have 5%). These stand out moreso than during the day. Before, it looked like I had one long black window across my car, now I can see a slight divider. It's not bad or anything, just wanted to notify anyone who cares.


$65 Billet Grille from eBay





Review

Looks = 5/5 - I love it!

Fit and Finish = 4.5/5 - It sits further back from the stock grille, seems good quality. Only thing that bugs me is in this picture, the top line seems to be bent downwards at the edge, I don't know if this is how it is for the Stillen grille and others. It happens on both sides. I don't mind it because it's barely noticeable.



Cost = 6/5 - It cost me $65 with s/h. Similar grilles go for $150 - $250 depending on what you get, I am VERY satisfied with this.

Install = 5/5 - Very easy, less than 5 minutes.

Packaging = 5/5 - Came undamaged, and well packed.




And that's it for me! No full body pics yet, haven't washed her. I'll get some up in a little bit.

Looking HAWT, I'm waiting for the full shots =)

 

i like the pillars...........not the grille

 

It looks thin and see-through in those pics, but it looks really nice in person.

 

The Stillen grill which is, made by T-Rex I believe, does not have the bent corners.

 

Why don't you bend it back up?

 

Good question.

 

I'll probably try to bend it back tomorrow.
