I am going to get my windows tinted in my white 88 coupe. My question is, I really like the look of the black pillar on the anniversary models. I like the look of the all black top. I do have the glass top. If I was to get the pillar painted would i be a "poser" ? Would it look like h--l?

Your car, do what looks good to YOU. Might be an expensive to fix mod if you don't like it though.

I think it would look alright.

I've never seen a photoshop of one but my daughter's Talon was the same way and I liked the look of it.

It's different so I think that's why I liked it.

I've sen some Vette's done with this idea and some looked better than others. Guess it depends on the color.

I think the black on white would look good though.

Just my .02 cents.

One of the major reasons I love the look of my 35th is the black bow. Next on my list is dark tint all around, I think it will give a real cockpit look to the car. go for it! As for being a poser, I say no. But you WILL draw attention to the trained eye of 35th owners. Not many of us out there.
