Default A pillar removal

I think I have you figured out. You are a secret GM design engineer and are designing the new mid engine Corvette that has no dash bezel, no center console and no roof or windshield. Sounds pretty advanced to me. Make sure we see your design drafts. Good luck.

I know that the A pillars and the dash are all once piece when installed at the factory...the entire front window area, fire wall and dash are all one unit...are you asking about the A pillar interior cover?

I you already knew this please disregard, I was just trying to tell you what I know, not trying to be another smart bleep post.

The exterior A Pillar is just a snap on cover.

Here's the part number for the GM OEM one, but there are aftermaket vendors seeling them in Carbon Fiber.

No malice intended.
