    Chrome Pillar Post Window Trim and Shark Fin Installed on 2012 CT F-Sport

    Just installed these this weekend, both easy to install.

    I think the Chrome Pillars on white looks great.

    To each his own. Nice sharkfin anyway. Maybe you can get the entire hood chromed. Or get a fake alligator skin vinyl roof installed. Sorry, but I can only assume you wanted comments or you wouldn't have posted these pictures. It's your car, do whatever you want, but I think the less chrome the better. I know some others disagree.

    I like it. Even if you don't, I really don't think you should assume he was looking to be blasted with a comment like that.

    Unfortunately, that's how Joe166 "jokes." Don't call him out on it, or else he'll tell you to "get a life" and then ask if the forum has an ignore feature. True story.

    Anyway, I think the chrome pillars look nice.. I actually agree that they probably do look better on white, mainly because there's less of a contrast between the paint and chrome. I'm not sure how this would look on a darker body, where it would probably stand out a lot more.

    Congrats on the mods.. I'm looking into getting a shark fin antenna of my own, but I'm not crazy about not being able to match with my gray paint job.

    I like it (both chrome pillars and shark fin).
    But they are mods that don't make a big difference to me (like illuminated door sills)

    I'm not into chrome, but if it works for you ... I will trade my chrome rims, ($2500 dealer option) for a set of the rims on your car if you want more chrome. I'm serious. Too bad you're in Calgary. I'm in LA, if anybody wants to trade. I do like the 'fin. I have one on my Prius, and it works great, and looks better than the antenna. Someday soon.
