Windshield Outside Pillar
Hey Guys,
Has anyone ever tried to or contemplated on painting the outside windshield pillar like the body (like the e85/e86)? I could have sworn the first official pics I saw of the Zed e89 had the paint on it. Don't get me wrong I like the way it is, I am just curious how it would look. I guess this is coming from us being so obsessed in past of matching everything to the body paint, side mirrors , moulding etc. These days all we want to do is blackout stuff . |

Hmmm. I used to be worried about this., I even thought I shoudl buy a Sapphire black Z4 (and nearly did) to ensure they matched.
Then I saw my DSB and I have never given it another thought.

Unfortunately, the black sapphire doesn't match the pillar either. The pillar is actually a glossy black and once you notice it it stands out. I've never understood why it's a different color than the body of the car.

Thats a good question. But many cars seem to have black trim and mirror supports as well as window frames regardless of sheet metal color. I can say though that it does match well with my jet black exterior paint on my 35i.

Have you tried polishing and buffing? Yup, works for me.

Or go the D Type Jag solution, remove the roof and font windshield and install small glass wind deflectors.
