Crown-Molding.com pilasters come in a number of different designs with a fixed capital at the top. There are also three different sizes that come with an adjustable plinth block at the bottom. To install this type of pilaster, simply make cuts from the bottom of the profile making sure that the top of the profile lands slightly above the door openings where you plan on installing the door header. Then attach the plinth block at the bottom. Any exposed openings around the plinth may be filled with a paintable, sandable silicone caulking.
