Removed the B Pillar black vinyl strips
A while ago I purchased carbon fiber trim pieces for the B pillars.
http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29422 They looked great when I first installed them, but after about 6 months they started to curl on the corners. Also, since the were real, very thin carbon fiber pieces they were ridiculously sharp on the edges, where I actually drew blood a couple of times while washing the car. So, I decided to remove them. The adhesive was supposed to be removable, but it turned out to really not be. I tried heat and every adhesive remover out there to get the residue off of the OEM Vinyl pieces, but it wouldn't come off. So, I decided that the easiest way to rectify the situation would be to peel the OEM vinyl pieces and order a new set. After removing the vinyl pieces I stepped back and noticed that it actually looked pretty good without the black there, so I think I will go without them: No B Pillar Vinyl.jpg
