Default A-pillar black out?

Just curious, anyone ever seen this? I saw the Nissan GTR with it and it looked pretty decent. wonder what the 944 would look like with the same treatment?

I would do a nice Photoshop if I had internets for my laptop. Buuuut I'm curious how that'll look so I'll do a quick shop on my phone on a pic of my car, standby!

Dunno how I feel about it mainly due to the top of the A pillar not really being able to line up with anything or connect the windows smoothly. Where would you draw the edge of the paint?

I would have made the upper line directly parallel with the top of the window.

its too far up which is why it looks weird. also would be better in gloss black

The thing is the GTR was designed with that in mind, and the new C7 Stingray tried, but to me failed at the attempt, as its not as smooth as on the GTR.

+1 on it not being an improvement

BUT - Ive done things to my car not everyone like either, so to each their own! If you love it, do it!
