btw OP the piller looks good, I would suggest running some bondo over the rest of the pillaras there is a clear transition that shows through the paint (that will soften the transition) and make the pillar much better. its a great first effort though.

 

That example, plus when I ran the line for my Escort, debunked those myths. I am quite confident that if my airbag ever deploys it will be the sudden stop that kills me not the a-pillar or any of the gauges I have on it.

 

Yeah thx, gonna hit with some 400 grit. Still not sure if I will leave it this color or go all black.

 

I think it would look really good in black BUT youd have to paint all 6 pillars lol and no one likes sanding.

 

Burned out on sanding this weekend. Probably will do a test fit and if it just doesn't look just right, then I'm sanding. I have the black paint in the garage!

 

they look really good. almost like they should of been there from the beginning

 

Ok went with the black instead of the gray! Few pics...install tomorrow!






The dust on it was after they dried.

 

wow.. looks great man.. post some pics when installed...

 

imo it looks better in grey.

 

Get some gauges in that bad boy! Lets see what it looks like. Gonna turn out pretty nice bud.

 

i would recommend using duraglass for anyone wanting to do this it will hold better

 

I just bought all the stuff to do this BUT I am going to be glassing mine in. I got EVERCOAT duraglass and fiberglass to do mine. I will post when I start mine later this week.

 

As rough as I was holding the pods and sides of the pillar, while endlessly sanding, its not coming off. As I stated before, not much flexing goes on in this area. But would like to see a step by step of the glass project. Might tackle a sub box using glass.

 

curtain airbags deployed in my civic si. A/F flew across the car so hard it starred the passenger window. Do you think that the a-pillar splits the exact same way in every vehicle? Troll.

 

Carry your off-topic argument with Talon66 to PM. But I will answer your question. The a-pillars are teathered to the frame with a THICK plastic strap. If you have not took off the a-pillar, its anchored pretty good. A-pillar is not coming off. So if the gauges are properly seated, they will not fly anywhere.
