I have been looking at the gloss black stick on covers for the pillars. The matte black on my Lariat doesn't look right. But would love if someone had factory color match ones.
Painted underneath? Could we peel ours off? My window rims are black metal tho.

Just realized my 25 XL hybrid has eruption green between the front and rear windows instead of satin black vinyl.

I noticed the absence of the black applique in the early release photos of the 2025 models. It seems to be the case only on the XL's. If the photo above is your XL, that is the case as the 2025 XLT and Lariats I have seen have the black applique in that area.

Much of the promotional materials are renderings, not photos. They can easily change the appearance with a mouse click.

I don't mind it and if you use the matt section to close the door you don't leave fingerprints all over it.

Those of us with factory installed numerical keypads really can't (reasonably) remove the strips.

Not that I really want to. Just sayin'.
Very easy to do. Small screw driver to pry the top of the key pad, pop off, remove vinyl, pop back on. Your keypad will be more noticeable though.

Looks better without the black In my opinion.

Sure they do. What do you think this whole post is about? 🥴🥴🥴
I'm not sure if your being sarcastic or not. All I know is that XL's do not have the black there. XLT's and up do.

Cost cuttings for 25 I guess.
Possible. Seems like a weird spot to cut cost. I mean, probably saving pennies but I guess pennies do add up when were talking volume.
