Product Description
Lexus SC Coupe 1997-2000 Pillar Trim, Two Polished Stainless Covers (PP97109)
A two-door coupe has fewer pillars than a sedan, and the kit reflects that. PP97109 is a two-piece set of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel pillar post covers that QAA lists for the Lexus SC 2-door coupe from 1997 through 2000. The pieces are made in the USA and press on with 3M tape.
Fitment in one line
Lexus SC, 2-door coupe, model years 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000. No other model, body style, or year appears on the record.
One kit, two pieces
QAA does not link any other pillar kit to this coupe, so there is no larger or smaller version to compare against. The data also has no coverage note, so it does not state which posts the two covers are shaped for. The product photos are the reliable reference, and the phone line can answer anything they leave open.
Polished into the steel
Each cover is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish. Because the shine is the metal itself rather than a plated layer, there is no coating that can lift, haze, or flake.
Mounting
Both pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and fit over the existing pillar surface. You do not remove any trim. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Getting the paint ready
Coupes like this are often garage-kept and heavily waxed. That wax is the enemy of good adhesion, so after washing and drying the pillars, wipe them with a residue-free cleaner until the surface is bare. Then look the paint over; any lifting or flaking area should be repaired before a cover goes on top of it.
A short job
Two covers make this one of the quickest pillar installs in the catalog. On a dry, mild day out of direct sun, hold the first cover in position with its liner still on and check how it lines up with the door frame and the glass. When you are happy, peel the liner and press firmly from one end to the other. Then fit the second SC cover, matching the height and angle of the first. Leave the car unwashed for a few days. The Installation tab covers the details.
Small mismatches show
With only two covers, a small mismatch is easy to see. Measure by eye from fixed points such as the door edge and window corner, and view both from the front and rear of the car before pressing the second piece down hard.
Looking after it
Hand wash with mild soap, rinse well, and dry with a soft towel. Avoid scouring pads and gritty polishes on the mirror face.
Why a subtle upgrade suits a coupe
A clean two-door profile does not need much. Two bright accents draw the eye without crowding the SC's design, and the original pillars remain untouched underneath.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 2 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.
