Buying a red 2025 Yukon XL AT4. I would like to have the C pillars match the rest of the black window trim/pillars. I'm thinking of having it painted at a body shop. But, I don't know anything about wraps. Is there anything besides paint and wraps that will accomplish this? See photos below. These images are originally from the GMC website. I used Apple markup to add color to the section that I am referring to. How would I best accomplish this?

That will look like ass IMO mainly because the bottom of the pillar has no defined edge. It’s going right into the red paint.

I was thinking about that myself and I have the same concern on the bottom but the 'tuxedo' wraps all have the same application. I would try the wrap to see how it looks before paint...

I'd go with a wrap , that way should you later decide you don't like it, you can peel it off.

Find a wrap company in your city (or a neighboring city) and go talk with them. They should be able to led you in the right direction.

I have to admit, the white with the black C pillar does look good. But the silver with the black A & C pillars and the roof looks really good! Wrap is the way to go.

Best application of curves/radii I think I've seen, both at the hood and c-pillar. Well done!
Thank you, I like it very much too. We spent a long time with the designer modeling, using different options and sketches, and decided to slightly capture part of the rear wing to visually enlarge the rear part.

Makes a big difference! Good stuff.
