I'm seriously debating buying some Alcantara and re-doing mine, too bad I have more important things to work on first so this idea is gonna wait a while

well that didn't last long. couldn't stand looking at those ugly ass pillars any more. broke down and ordered two new C pillars as well as new dash mounting bracket (mine is scratched up pretty good) from ECS.

At 38 bucks a pop, I concluded that simply replacing the entire trim pieces is easier to deal with than re-gluing. I've had bad luck with the re-gluing process, and it falls off after a while. That'll be on my list of stuff to fix soon.
Yup. I had fairly good luck gluing mine. In fact I think they came out great. When you factor in the prep time....its just not worth it to me....unless your doing something custom.

bump...so now my passenger side B pillar trim is peeling. from researching some DIYs it seems the B pillars on coupes are a PITA to replace since you have to deal with the seatbelt thingy and the weather stripping. not to mention a replacement piece is 60 bucks! wtf!
so i think i might try just gluing it back. drivers side is still in perfect shape. what's the best stuff to use...3M adhesive glue? anyone who's done this?
