I sent Pillarcovers a message about SCab fitment and they said it would.

That emblem sure fits right in doesn't it!

Sure does! Great work man great work. I am thinking of requesting some more work from you closer towards the holidays if you are available to. I would like to get a light single layer of smoke on my fogs and maybe two on that 3rd brake light to blend them in more. Seeing my truck driven down the road behind me those fogs stand out so loudly it would be nice to tone their chrome appearance down very lightly. And I haven't been 100% satisfied with the brake light since I put it on . Since I have a little daily getter now down time on the truck isn't a big deal now. But thats if you can/will, and if I have the funds.


Here is a more quality pic of the pillars guys!

DOH! That sucks. Hopefully they will fix it fast. They responded within the hour of me asking if they fit Scabs and I was going to order some this weekend. Think I will wait now and see how your situation turns out.

They asked for pictures to show what was at fault, I sent them two days ago and no reply as of yet.

Hey Darren where do you get your precut tint kit from? Was looking for one for my civic. I'm assuming you buy it online?

If for some reason it doesn't work out for you scab guys, another option to gloss black pillars, would be, hear me out, but chrome metal pillar covers, scuff them well, prime, black paint, and clear.

May worth a try if ya'll are big DIY

I've already been considering that option.
I did that with chrome $25 Ebay (skullcap) mirror covers. Scuffed them and hit them with adhesion promoter them shot them Arizona Beige and clear.

Turned out great and look OEM.

Hopefully you Supercab guys get good fitting kits too! Glad to see this little appearance improvement taking off as well as LEDs! Will give them a lot of good business and will make everyone's rides look great.

I originally got tint from Northern Tint & Graphics LLC.com because they are low cost, nice quality. I was just un-happy with the charcoal like appearance compared to the very deep dark factory rears on my truck.

I have been using TintZoom.com for all of my recent projects and for myself since they use the high quality Llumar brand film only. Llumar is very nice looking, functioning ( heat rejection ), and clear clarity film. I am just un-happy with my metallized look from the ATR series 5% on my front glass.

The 3rd option, which I am buying some for my truck to replace the 5% Llumar, is FilmVantage. They offer a couple brands of high quality films such as Llumar, Suntek, and 3M. My research has rendered the results that 3M Color Stable is the very best tint you can have for heat rejection, and a dark black appearance like factory privacy glass. They charge the most out of the two other stores however, but from what I have seen the 3M film is worth it. I have some 3M Color Stable 20% to go in my bud's g/fs 2011 Escape, should be installing on Tuesday, I am anxious to do the job and see the results before I buy for myself.

So there ya go! 3 stores, and a lot of blab from me .
