Anyone ever try wrapping your A pillars? Seen it?

Was wondering what this would look like? Kind of 2000gt inspired.

I am a bit confused by what you are asking?

Like you want a-pillars like a 2000 gt?

If thats what you wanna do, go for it.

I wouldn't say anything about it being 2000gt inspired though.

Yeah this is what I meant, to kind of give it that wrap around windshield feel.
I don't know if I would do it. Just an idea

Personal opinion obviously but I think the A Pillar is too large unless you also do the roof to match. There's no good break in the lines so it would look very "stuck on".

Yeah but, then you have the weird brake line on the C-Pillar. Also looks really odd on the a-pillar without tint to darken everything to match.

I agree. The lines don't merge well at all.
