I think you mean B-pillar, and V6 models usually have the B-pillars painted and Z28s have them black.

No, the term for the sail panel is C-pillar. Only 4 door cars have B-pillars

No. They go in order. A-pillar is the windshield, B-pillar or B-post is next. Ask any extrication expert or firefighter....

Wrong, They are labeled in order front to back (A,B,C,D,) Some cars like ours only have A and B pillars, others have A,B, and C pillars and minivans and station wagons have A,B,C, and D pillars.

no, you guys are wrong lol. the a pillar is the front, b pillar refers to the pillar on a 4 door sedan in between the doors, and c pillar is on the back. our cars have a and c pillars.

i believe it was optional for the roof/sail panel to be body color on v8 cars. i prefer the black sail panel i think. im goin to paint the sail panel and mirrors black on the T/A

actully, the more i think of it it does make more sense. i really didnt mean to snap at anyone, i was just kinda torqued when i seen i had replys to my thread and they were all results of a **** waving match over whether it was a C or B pillar. which it dosent matter because you all know what im talking about.

I think we should just agree to call it a damn sail panel and be done with it
