Default Interior Pillar Tear

Driver side pillar got razor'ed by the inspection guy and I didn't notice it until later...

Too late for me to take it back and say something about it I'd say...

Anyway, what's the best kit or best way to fix this?

Buy another one from Ebay or someone on this forum. Should be about $30. If you don't, it will be the first thing you see when you get in your car and your eyes will ALWAYS be drawn to it. I know...I cut the skin of mine trimming some CF on the vent. Just bit the bullet and bought a used one for about that same $30 bucks. Never regretted it.

They're found on e-Bay most of the time and they're very easy to replace.

Razor is used to remove old inspection stickers

Around here we have a vendor called Dr. Vinyl that does dash and seat repairs. If you have something like that around where you live, check them out (a good place to get info would be a dealer where they use services like that for new/used cars). I've seen the work these guys do and you can't tell a repair has been made.
