Default Painted my B Pillar(halo) black *PICS*

I never will use the solid white top. With the transparent top, the white B pillar didn't look uniform to the rest of the car, IMO. It looked out of place.

I bought a used B pillar on ebay for $85 and had it painted black. Installation to me about an hour, not hard at all. I think it looks much better.

Looks sharp! You should think about doing the black head lights. Your vette does look awesome.

Love it! If it was up to me, all C6's should come black with an option of car colored (or opposite)..but it's not, so that's sounds like a quick and easy solution

Looks great!!

The black halo on a white C6 w/ transparent top is simply awesome looking. Window tint completes the package. Great deal on that halo and with only an hour install I may consider doing the same thing in order to get rid of my wart. I thought it was hard than that.

Looks great...

Headlights are tough to do...you might think about having your painter do the marker lenses...they look great on a white C6 IMHO...

I like it a lot! Definitely a good look if you have a tinted top on a lighter color car. Now tint the windows!

Very sharp. The overall look works with the competition gray wheels comes together quite well.
