I might have to do this since it does not look like I can afford a turbo whistler.

turbo whistler is quite expensive, BUT it'll give you a lot more HP gain than this...

Not really. But at least since yours is wrapped you avoid future fob support payments.

check with your local tuner shop.. they might have the part, but they might not sell the part only..

p.s. you're from Baton Rouge? I was an exchange student going to Family Christian Academy (jimmy swaggert) on blue bonnet back in 2004 LOL

no door handles or the entire car, but i think i too am going to do the B-Pillars on mine. one of my buddies showed me his car bits he did with this same 3M stuff and i was amazed how CLEAN it looked.

and i was able to get the nice glossy finish with some carnauba wax so im taking off my Evo-R b-pillar (it looks nice but the threads are not as black as i wanted them to be) and replacing with this 3M stuff as soon as it comes in.
