Looks like your neighbor is going just the opposite

Yeah, your pillars looked like they had been in the sun waaaaaaaay too long. Good play!

Where'd you get those? I just deal with it by using some blackmagic tire goo and rub it on all the black stuff that isn't paint. Leaves it nice and shiny. Might not be black magic and it's not called tire goo.

I think he just took the old ones off and didn't put anything on in their place, his car is black after all.

Durdenss is that right?

I got them off ebay: BLACK Pillar Posts for Chevy Sonic/Aveo 12-15 (5dr Hatch) 6pc Set Cover Door | eBay
It looks too naked without them. Like an old toyota echo or old volvo v70. Also these are glass smooth, whereas just leaving it naked is orangepeeled.

I dont know if it would look right with any other color than black, might want to keep your old stickers on and just put over the old stickers, if so. Because your color woul probably peak out the edges.

How about that, yeah it's hard to see them against the paint from a distance. A definite improvement over the original fading ones

Ordered, as my factory vinyl has a seam on it and its starting to get holes in it.

Ad says 6 pieces, what are the other 2? The rear handle area?

When mine start to look like sh it, I was thinking of replacing them with some 3M carbon fiber look vinyl.

I used it on my bike frame as protection. Lasts a long time, and looks good.

Italianjoe, Its just 4pc i think they copy and pasted from another car. I was thinking about getting the chrome rear handle cover and having it painted glossy black too.

Where'd you get those tires and what kind are they?

 

[Durdenss]

They're hankook ipike snow tires 205/65-15. They're decent in the snow but are scary at speed in the rain. Stick with blizzaks if you're looking for snow tires.

Thanks. I have Nexen's now, but I want to switch to a 16" rim and am looking for tires again.

If your looking for a nice, lightweight max performance summer tire. You can get continental extremecontact dw (not dws) tires very inexpensive on tirerack right now (at least you could a couple weeks ago and they mightve sold out) in 205/55/16. I just got them myself a couple of weeks ago, they were on clearance for like $280 for all 4 before a $70 visa gift card rebate, so basically $210 bucks for an incredible tire! And it was the lightest max performance tire I could find. Same weight as the hankook evo v12s, but a much much better tire.
Also if you want less extreme performance but awesome fuel economy and respectable performance, the pirelli cinturato p7s are super lightweight with low rolling resistance for even less after their $60 visa card rebate. That was so close for me.
My 16x7et30 lightweight wheels are being made in the uk and are taking forever! 15 week production! Im dying to get them and put them on with my new extremecontact's!!
