I mean if you were going to repaint a car, would you paint the B pillar to match the car or not??

hmmm, might look ok if it weren't for all that faded rubbber. I think it would look better on a 968

Yea, she's no supermodel. I just had a lot of it left over and got bored one afternoon. It's a nice subtle touch.

Painting it disrupts the shape of the windows.

If designers had a choice, there would be no more than a tiny gap between front door glass and rear quarter glass, but that's not always possible. So they color the area between the window panes flat or gloss black, to make it look more like glass.

I would not paint it in body color.
