Anyway, I see all these b-pillar cover replacements but they don't look like they are actual replacements but just covers that attach to the OEM ones. Am I understanding this correctly?

I want something carbon fiber that will fit like or better than OEM and it has to be usable as if I didn't have the originals. Any recommendations?
I replaced a b pillar panel that flew off with an OEM from z1 motorsports last year. I think they have a carbon fiber style one as well.

This might be what I do if I can't find an OEM style replacement in carbon fiber.

The Nismo ones on Z1 motorsports are adhesive which doesn't solve my issue of the original B-pillar cover being broken if its just going to attach to a broken part.

I want an OEM replacement in carbon fiber. Also, the product page for the Seibon carbon fiber pillars do not say whether they are adhesive or OEM replacement.

OHHHH yeah....when I saw they were 403 bucks I thought for sure they were going to be real - didn't read closely. 400 bucks for glorified stickers? lol
