Question Need help with Carbontrix A pillar!

I just got my carbon fiber A pillars today and when I went to put them on and I noticed it's a little difficult. I am nervous to pull I dont want to break anything, anyone have any advice? Does anyone have the both pillars like I do from Carbontrix aka Road Race Motorsports? I don't evem know if they go over the stock pillars or if I actually have to take the stock ones out. In there picture it looks like it just covers the stock pillar. RRM said that it can accomodate up to a 60mm gauge and it doesn't even look like it comes close to fitting. Any thoughts or answers?

Im running 52mm in mine and it is a tight fit. One reason I got these cause I dont want something blocking my line of sight. I just riveted mine to the stock apillars. I still have some trimming to do. They will cover over the pillars you just gotta pull out the a-pillar and then slide it over the stock a-pillar ...

The carbon trix A-pillars fit pretty well but it takes some work. You have to pull off the stock pillars. I used a puddy nife and carefully wedged it at the top of the stock pillar and then pulled. This will remove the top snap and then the other 2 (middle and bottom) are easy to get off. I went with some double sided tape to get the covers to adhere to the pillars. To get it back on you have to use a flash light to make sure the bottom snaps are lined up. Once the're in you can hit the top of the a pillar to get the top snap in.

I installed 60 mm defi BF gauges in mine which took some heavy work with a dremel tool to get the 52 mm holes up to the larger size. After all that I'm pretty happy with how everything fits and the gauges look good.
