Which EL's got black B pillars?

[DEVL-XR]

as the title asks, which EL's got black B pillars? are they a standard item or aftermarket? i've seen quite a few, seems to be EL's getting around with these stick on black/dark grey B pillars.
just wondering whats the go with them and where do you get them from?

cheers

im not sure which models had them, but yes they're clip on b pillar trims....you should be able to get them from ford.....
you'll have to paint the visible paint around that section on the B pillar itself otherwise it sticks out

NZ has them on his EB......they look pretty good

[DEVL-XR]

yeah it makes the windows flow better, especially with dark tint! on GOR i seen a few EL fairmonts with them, also XR6TickfordBoy has them on his XR6, i asked him about it and he didnt even know they were on there!!

[LUXO_8]

lol.......on my fairlane, the grey parts of the bumpers, door handles and the b pillars were fading as they all do....
so i masked it all up and hit it all with some gunmetal paint from a preasurepack can....
looks pretty good for the little effort, and it was next to free...

I think on EL Fairmonts and XRs they have the black trims on the B-pillars.

EA1's also had black B-pillars but they were just a sticker

[fairmont1998]

EL Fairmont and Ghia definately have them.

[El_Poochino]

EL XRs have them too. Plastic clip on trim I belive.

My ED :P



They're actually stickers and cost about $120 from Fraud.

[BLDNUT01]

that looks good with the tinted windows too but i don,t no about the price should be the same for ea to el

[data_mine]

NL Fairlanes got them too.

[Skooter]

Anyone tried Coventry's for those stickers, might be an after market one for cheaper?

i used black contact. straight from the art supply room at uni. to replace the exhisting lot which had been damaged by the sun. save ur money, 2 layers of black contact, and then if it gets damaged, it will cost u all of about 5 bucks to redo it.

hard to see in this pic, but it looks just the same

cheers dan

dansince86:might give the contact a go!

damn good idea!

got a close up of the contact?

I have them from factory on my EL and the sun gets to them - I maintain them by spraying a bit of armor all on top...lasts about a month then it starts to fade again to a matt black. shinny black looks so much better!

^ try Meguires Trim Detailer

Works much better and longer than Armour All.

[Venomous]

I might give this a try too.
Mine are all faded, and yeah.

Any idea what i could use on the
rubber thats kinda perishing and fading?

Is the trim detailer in the aerosol can the one you use? I found that one, was hoping it was also available in a trigger bottle.

[Kenaz]

I think mine has them.

I can't really remember and it's too dark to go outside and check.

Nah Trim Detailer is a Gold Class product, comes in a black bottle with a cap top. You can get Rubber and Vinyl Protectant from Megs though, red trigger bottle.

black spraypaint works a treat. doesnt peel off either.

[DEVL-XR]

i'll try the black contact first, at least then i can take it off if need be!might have a look today actually!

[DEVL-XR]

What do you mean, a gold class product?
I have trim detailer and it is a maguires product, it just has gold class on the bottle, whats the difference?
