How 'bout NO, grasshopper. The header/A pillar on all cars is matte black.

Yes, relatively easy... Involves drilling a few rivets and undoing a bot at the top corner of the A-pillar

It kindof is See below...

The wrap goes under the trim, so you need to take that off first. Pull the rubber seal down and it you will see 4 rivets and a screw on the top corner of the A-pillar









We didn't drill the bottom rivet because it's a very odd angle for a normal battery powered drill and you don't really need to get the trim completely off, as
it doesn't wrap under the bottom rivet.





Lovely paint underneath

Fast forwards and the car looks like it should (in our opinion)

Exclamation

Removing the wrap makes the car look like a regular cabriolet.
Also, it looses part of the magic of the removable windscreen of the 356, and that of the black pillars in subsequent speedsters.
More over, guys who do it, are doing a disservice to future owners of these cars as I seriously doubt that you can order the OEM part.
