Good job, Chino!!

I like the way the pillars match the trim you have on the wheel wells. It gives it a complete look.

Forget spending top $$$ for the aftermarket "belt lines, grill, wheel lip" when you can do it yourself and only spent about $20.

Hit your nearest AutoZone or PepBoys and buy their "chrome wheel lip molding"... the roll cost $10 for like 20', which should cover the entilre belt line of the car. I bought two rolls because I also did the wheel lips and the grill.

Easy as hell to install!
Peel the tape off and stick them on, that's all!

re: is it sandwiched into the crack along the side of the car?

That will be a "Hell No"...
They don't fit, a little too big....
so just stick them right above that line. Believe me, they are too easy to install, really cheap and most important... it improves the look of your car!

Heres a little hint about them....
turn on the heat in your car and leave them in there for about 10 minutes so they soften up and stick better.... you will be able to shape them in which ever way you'd like.
Already paid big money on the stull beltline kit.....I was just curious if that was actually what I was seeing. Above the beltline is where I have mine also.

As nice as they look, i had to give you a no. If anything i would paint them to match the car. if you want to set it off that would do it more than the chrome (believe it or not).

On the White and Silver Cruisers they look ok, but on the darker colors the black pillars compliment the dark windows. I do like everything else you've done though.

Hi Chino...they look great on your White PT...
and I hate to disagree with everybody but the chrome pilars also look great on the Cranberry Cruiser....I know that because our PT has the them....and Kevin has put the chrome all around...excuse that I don't use the correct names but you know what I am referring to and I think it looks like it came from the factory.

The pilars was the addition after CTF.
Just my $0.02

Verrrry interesting (to quote Arte Johnson). I like 'em and I don't like 'em. I'll wait for the additional pictures.

As I said before, Chino, I vote that you be moved directly to "addict" status.

What? No comment from Daryl??
