PP15448: The Ten-Piece Legacy Pillar Kit the Larger Sets Build On (2015-2019)
PP15448 is a ten-piece pillar post set for the 2015-2019 Subaru Legacy sedan, and it plays a special role on this sheet: the two biggest Legacy sets describe themselves by reference to it. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the single row (Subaru Legacy 2015-2019, 4-door, Sedan) matches the title.
How the larger kits describe it
- PP15449, twelve pieces: "Includes kit #PP15448 plus rear most triangle."
- PP15444, sixteen pieces: "Includes kit #PP15449 plus front most pieces."
So by those notes, everything in this ten-piece kit is also in the twelve- and sixteen-piece sets. That makes the choice simpler. If you want the rear most triangle, go to PP15449. If you want the front most pieces too, PP15444. If neither, this kit is the base. Don't buy this kit together with either of the larger ones; by their notes, you'd be paying for these ten pieces twice.
What this kit doesn't say
PP15448 has no note of its own. It doesn't name its pillars, and the catalog doesn't explain how it relates to the four-, six- and eight-piece sets (PP15445, PP15446, PP15447). Look at the gallery to see the ten shapes. We've flagged the relationship between the smaller sets and this kit for review.
Mounting and steel
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds each cover directly over the existing surface. No drilling and no removal. Polished 304 stainless has no coating to lift, and the 26 gauge sheet keeps each cover slim.
Preparing ten surfaces
Wash each pillar area with car shampoo, rinse and dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it flash off. Strip wax or ceramic coating where tape will sit.
Placing ten covers
Sort them by shape on a towel against the photos. Map the Legacy's posts in order with liners attached, lining each cover up evenly, marking the ends with painter's tape and noting the position on the liner. Map the rest and compare similar covers. Then peel, set and press one at a time, firmly along the full length and both edges. The Installation tab lists temperature range and cure time.
Why start with the base kit
If the rear most triangle and the front most pieces aren't on your list, the ten-piece kit gives you the core of the larger sets with less to fit. It's also a reasonable way to see polished stainless on your Legacy before deciding whether the further pieces are worth it. Bear in mind the larger sets include this kit according to their notes, so ordering one later would repeat these ten covers; decide up front if you can.
Session and checks
Allow a relaxed session on a dry day out of strong sun, with a step stool and a helper if possible. Confirm a 2015-2019 Legacy sedan. On arrival, count ten covers against the gallery. If one won't sit flat, keep its liner on and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP15448. Ordinary car soap keeps it bright.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 10 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
