Product Description
Two-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 2001-2005 Honda Civic Coupe (PP25212)
PP25212 is a pair of polished stainless pillar covers for the 2001-2005 Honda Civic 2-door coupe. At $45.99, made in the USA, it's a compact set of two covers.
Coupe, not sedan. The title says only "Honda Civic", but the fitment row is tagged 2-door, Coupe. That matters here, because the listing is linked to Civic parts for both bodies. Two of those links, PP22214 and PP22215, are pillar sets tagged 4-door, Sedan, and they're meant for the sedan rather than your coupe. Likewise, this pair isn't listed for the sedan. Count the doors and check your records. If anything doesn't line up, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP25212.
The other links. TH25212 is a rocker panel lower kit tagged 2-door, Coupe. TH22214 and TH25215 are rocker panel listings tagged 4-door, Sedan. All three are separate products; check their own pages for fitment.
The years. 2001-2005, five model years. If your coupe falls outside that range, this set isn't listed for it.
The pair. The listing doesn't name the pillar the two covers are shaped for, and it gives no width or note. The photos show both shapes. Look at them, then at your Civic, and make sure you can see where each one sits. If you can't, ask before ordering.
The pre-order check. Open the gallery on your phone beside the coupe and hold each shape up next to its post. Feel the finish at the same time. If both checks are fine, you're ready to buy; if not, a short call settles it.
The steel. 26 gauge 304 stainless, polished. It resists corrosion and carries no plating, so there's nothing to bubble or flake. Soapy water keeps it bright. The covers are cosmetic and change nothing structural.
The tape. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling, nothing to pry off. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
The posts. On a coupe of this age, the finish under the tape is the thing to check. Chalky residue, fine cracks, a lifting corner or old wax should be dealt with first. Repair, strip, wash and dry, then wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean.
The fitting. Choose a dry, still day in the shade. Compare both covers with the photos when they arrive, and call if either is bent. Offer the first one up to its post with the backing on, nudge it until the edges look even and trace around it with painter's tape. Peel, set it into the outline and press hard along its length and both edges. Fit the second cover the same way, then step back and compare.
If one won't sit flat. The backing stays on while you call 877-752-3811.
Aftercare. After curing, wash the pair with car soap and dry them with a soft towel.
Time. Short. With two pieces, the prep takes longer than the fitting, so give the cleaning your full attention.

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.
