A-pillar body color?
I dunno - everytime i look at C7 pics (which is a lot lately ) i feel like the outside of the A-Pillar should be body color vs. black - Anyone else ?

A-pillar
Not just the A-pillars
all the not body colored dark shaded parts on the frontend , sides, and rearend, vents, scoops, spoilers, roof and hood are a little too busy for my tastes. but blend in nicely with the black and cyber grey cars.
Really noticeable on some of the other colors
Bet a lot of those parts will be available aftermarket soon in body color just for that reason.
My neice upon seeing my black C7 for the first time said Holy cow bat man is that the bat mobile.

What's funny about this question is that the C6 A-pillar was black/plastic for nine model years. Now it's all of the sudden an issue because the A-pillar is gloss black.

I've had 2 C4s, 2 C5s, and 2 C6s, and have always wanted body colored A-pillars - it's not all of a sudden.

I agree, don't like the photoshop at all. The C7 A-pillar looks fine to me, didn't care for the rubbery one on the C6.

Some may not like my terrible "photoshop" (calling for an artist to do this properly) but having arched C-pillars end at the B-pillar is as dopey as those old half-vinyl roofs that were all that in the 70's and 80's.
Again, with the SOLID roof the black A-pillars on the C7 look great, if not even better than body-colored ones would look!

If you paint the A pillars the same color as the car when you take the removable roof section out your car will look just like a Miata. Is that what you want? Black A pillars work with the roof off. You can not have it both ways.

The issue is that with a TARGA hoop the black A-pillar is the much better look. That's why nobody would complain about the C4-5-6 having black A-pillars. However, the C7, with arched C-pillars, looks very disjointed/incomplete (think "bridge to nowhere") if it has a blacked-out roof and black A-pillars.

My car was tinted today and finished too late for pics. IMO, the black A-pillar looks even better when the windows are tinted.
