Those piano black b-pillars are vert prone to swirl marks and scratches. What is the best way (PPF, vinyl, etc) to protect and/or cover them? Open to all suggestions.

Have you used the glossy or the matte? I am wondering what the matte actually looks like...
I used “glossy”. I wasn’t sure how matte would look, especially on the Mach-E since it has other glossy parts. I then stuck with gloss for the lightning too

If you get an opportunity could you sneak some photos of the b-illars with it installed so I can see the fit and how it is holding up?

Sorry about the angle, trying to avoid identifiable geolocation 😂

No swirls. this is after 7 months of install and going through several car washes. One thing, do email OCDPlug to see if they made the fit even better. Some people were having issues with keypad cutout but I didn’t really notice

Nice. And install was pretty easy?

My old 2015 Fusion got what I think were UV cracks all over those side pillar plastic covers over time. On my Mach E, the PPF protection prevented such UV cracks.
