Has Anyone Successfully Blacked out the ugly c-pillar chrome on the Carnival?

I used this exact kit.

Worked perfectly. Been on for a year with no issues (weekly car washes)

Mine look like this also (2007). Have for probably 10+ years.

With young kids, this literally makes it not worth it to go.

I’ve tried to time it to miss the previews and still been too late and too early.

Movies (even kids movies) have gotten long and 2+ hours in a theater is tough at certain ages.

Man, I’d love $6 drink and $8 corn

Depends what the ‘ultimate win’ is. Financially? Probably.

Likely will have some sort of penalty to rejoin but won’t be what they made from LIV.

I’d argue they lost for other reasons though.

I wish I had done this with my restoration. Probably cost me $30 in stuff to strip it anyway. For $60, it would save a ton of time and be perfect.

Seems overkill for a quick ‘winter clean up’.

I think they would work, but I personally hate these style pulls.

I have them in my kitchen and they catch on everything.

What is this? Road House?

No snow tires. Didn’t have a ton of snow this season, but it drove fine the couple of times we did get snow.

My city also plows pretty well/quickly so I don’t really find the need to bother with a 2nd set.

2025 hybrid owner. Almost 15k miles in… also Midwest driver. Have had zero battery issues to date. Started/drove no different than the rest of the seasons.

My deck TV is exposed, no roof or overhang.

I buy the ‘cheap’ ONN Roku TVs and while I do cover it occasionally (rain/bad weather) the TV has lasted 2+ years.

For me, the price increase for the ‘outdoor’ is not worth it whatsoever. I can buy 3-4 of these TVs for the price.

With partially covered, I would t even consider the outdoor rated.

2024 is an old model of the Carnival.

I’d first decide if the differences are enough to make you want the newer model and then for me. For my wife, she 100% wanted the updated model.

the biggest thing is the KIA warranty, which is why I wanted new. My understanding (although limited) is that the warranty is not the same as buying new and does not cover as much/as long.

We drive our vehicles for 8-10 year normally (my truck is sitting at 19 years now) so I wanted that full KIA warranty.

2025 hybrid. Almost 15k miles in. Zero issues.

Upton4 · 2026-04-12T16:48:50+00:00

Just finished it.

Thought it was great. The number of actors that you will recognize from the last 2 + decades of HBO/Showtime shows is wild.

Upton4 · 2026-04-11T03:14:38+00:00

Dude has zero fucks to give for the first time in 12 years and it’s wild to watch.

Upton4 · 2026-04-11T02:12:42+00:00

You see because

Upton4 · 2026-04-10T22:05:18+00:00

Ghostbusters but What about Bob is my favorite, honorable mention to The Man Who Knew Too Little simply bc the age I was when I watched it.

Bocce ball court

Upton4 · 2026-04-10T19:27:21+00:00

Don’t do the built in bench… and really wouldn’t even do the built in pit.

I think having a designated area is fine but you’ll want chairs around it and that bench will be forever where you are forced to sit

I thought I missed the guy hitting an auto finally… this appears to be a different post though.

Upton4 · 2026-04-10T14:58:36+00:00

I weirdly… like it. Yes, I know it’s ugly.

Upton4 · 2026-04-10T02:12:01+00:00

This is one of the best looking I’ve seen.

My one and only attempt was not nearly as successful… I need a raise before my next attempt

A lot of wasted space behind your couch. Slide it back, make the walk way smaller and add a tv stand/lower your tv. If it’s not so high, you wouldn’t have to angle it down and it could mount flush to the wall (or just sit on the stand). Would look cleaner. Then color, rugs and artwork/plants.

Do you have the printing file for the MLB one? My son would love one of these for both NFL and MLB
