I fixed the options to include GLOSS BLACK...

Has anyone done this with matched body color?
For example, I have a red roof with red halo, I'm just wondering how the A-pilar would look red before I actually do it..
Anyone have photoshop skills? lol

I haven't ordered anything yet. What is the pillar track that the A-pillar rivets to? I believe GM calls the A-pillar an applique. What does GM call the pillar track? What is the GM part number for the pillar track? I am confused by the GM parts catalog.

Thanks.
