Product Description
Chevrolet Monte Carlo 2000-2007 Coupe Pillar Post Trim Pair (PP40175)
PP40175 is a pair of polished stainless pillar covers for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo coupe, model years 2000-2007. The title spells it "Chevy Monte Carlo"; the fitment row lists the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, tagged 2-door, Coupe. It's $40.49, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless.
The only linked listing is DH40175, a two-piece door handle accent set for the same coupe. It's a separate part with its own page and isn't included with these covers. There's no other Monte Carlo pillar set linked here.
For the pair, the record has no notes, doesn't name the post and gives no widths. Two covers make for a quick check in the gallery: study both shapes, then go out to your Monte Carlo and find the post each one matches. If both have a clear home and that's the post you'd like in polished steel, order the pair. If anything seems off, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP40175 with your year.
Eight model years share one row and none is singled out, so the same check works whatever your year in that span. While you're looking, run a hand along the posts for dents or patched areas; a flat cover needs a flat surface to sit on.
The pair is purely cosmetic. Each cover sits on a post next to the side glass, and the coupe's doors, windows and seals keep working as they do. The 304 grade resists corrosion through its alloy rather than any plating.
No drill and no trim tools: the Monte Carlo pair goes on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, which takes hold of the paint or trim already on the coupe's posts. Read the Installation tab for the temperature window and the cure time before you plan the afternoon.
The tape grips the posts' surface, so prepare both with care. Strip any wax or polish, and fix chalky, crazed or lifting finish. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh cloth shows nothing.
For a coupe pair: car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, two or three lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A friend standing at the front of the car can compare the two covers.
Fit them on a dry, still day out of the sun. Compare both with the photos and ring us if either is bent or missing. Work out which post each cover fits. Liner on, hold the first to its post, ease it until the reveal is even, and mark around it with painter's tape. Peel, set it inside the marks, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Then fit the second cover the same way.
If one won't lie flat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 before going further. After the cure time, wash the pair with car soap along with the Chevrolet's paint and dry with a soft towel.

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.
