Default A Pillar trim

I tried to paint my A pillar and trim that goes up the windshield but it ended up looking worse than how it was before. I would rather not try painting it again and just replace it. I can't find anyone who sells the a pillar and trim though. I am just looking for the triangular shape piece and the trim that goes up the windshield. Does anyone know where I can buy it or does anyone have one they are selling?

This is the piece I am looking to replace. I found it on eBay and ordered it already. Does anyone know if this is tough to take of and reinstall?

If its not to late you can do what I did and cover both in vinyl. I used both Glass Black and Carbon Fiber vinyl and love the way it came out

Hey Bud; I used Vivid Vinyl film, from Amazon. Best advice I can give is to watch YouTube videos on CF install for pillars, that's what I did.
You'll need a felt tipped squeegee, a heat source, I used an ole hair dryer, A tool called the Little Chizler helps, a box of single edge razor blades, rubbing alcohol and patience. It is actually pretty easy, if Welker can do it anyone can, J/K Welker
Good luck
