So I’m tired of the shiny black b pillars looking like crap on my truck. I had them ceramic coated when new after paint correction and they still look crappy. Wrapping them or covering them will just look like an after thought. So, I see some f-150 models have a textured flat black style on them. I’d like to swap mine out for them. It would match the bed rail covers and hood vent and fender vents perfectly. Long story short anybody have part numbers? I’ve searched and no descriptions on parts say shinny or grainy. Any help is appreciated.

I was going to do the same thing. The super duty pillars will work. I priced it out at about $400 to swap them out. I was hoping to swap them out with someone that doesn’t care if they’re shiny or dull

@Dustan i found them all through Autonation Ford in White bear Lake. I’ll attach a photo of part numbers. Total cost was $252.00 with shipping.

Sweet I’ll snap shot the pic. Did you replace the keypad or just leave it gloss? I wouldn’t think that scabs and screws would be same part # for the rears.

@Dustan I’m just going to leave it glossy. I’m not sure if there is a non glossy key pad. If there is I’d swap it out. Still waiting on them to come in. I have no ide if it’s same parts for both can configurations. What I did was find a truck with the non glossy b pillars and used that vin# as a reference to order parts.

Looks great! Maybe it's just me since I sometimes have cheap tendencies, but I'm stuck on the price of these stickers. I found a 1ft x 5ft 3M matte black wrap sheet (where you could overlay and then cut to size) on amazon for $21.99 and a pre-made overlay / DIY blackout strips for $25.99. I'm sure Rappy and others make a fantastic / quality product, but what's the deal with some of the pricing? I assume they have a small office and prettly low OHs, so then it's really just labor, material and the machine to process the stickers (could the X factor be that most of the margins here go to support the license from Ford)?

I plan on vinyl wrapping mine with matte black. I have the vinyl but haven't gotten around to it. You can get enough on ebay for less than $10. If you search there is a video DIY on removing the pieces and wrapping them. I think they are fairly easy pieces to wrap if you have never done it before since they are flat and no real contours.

Another option might be plastidip. It will give you a matte black textured look for cheap and in my experience plastidip holds up well.
