Product Description
Honda Civic Coupe 2012-2015 Two-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim (PP12212)
PP12212 is the Civic pillar set for the coupe. Its fitment row lists the Honda Civic, model years 2012 through 2015, tagged 2-door coupe, and the set has two pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The title names the Civic and the same years.
Coupe, not sedan
This is the main thing to check. Every other Civic part on this sheet is tagged 4-door sedan, including the three larger pillar sets: PP12214 with four pieces, PP12215 with six and PP12216 with eight. Those are listed for the sedan, not for the coupe. Only PP12212 carries the 2-door coupe tag. So if you own a 2012-2015 Civic coupe, this is the pillar set the catalog lists for your car, and if you own the sedan, look at the sedan sets instead.
The same goes for the other parts on the sheet. GC12214 (a 1-piece gas door cover trim), HL12214 (a 2-piece head light accent trim whose note says it adheres to the front bumper, underneath the headlight), LP12214 (a 1-piece license plate bezel) and RB12214 (a 1-piece rear bumper trim accent) are all tagged 4-door sedan. Eight more numbers appear without details: RD12214, TH12214, TH12215, WP12214, WP12215, WP12216, WQ12214 and WS12214. None of those is listed for the coupe on this sheet, so please call before ordering any of them for a 2-door car.
What the two pieces cover
The listing has no notes and doesn't name the pillar or pillars. The product photos show the shapes. Compare them with your car before ordering. If anything is unclear, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give us PP12212.
Confirming your car
Three things to check: a Civic, a model year from 2012 to 2015, and the 2-door coupe body. If all three match, the row matches.
Mounting
Both Civic pieces are held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface, with no drilling and nothing removed.
Two pieces, carefully
A two-piece install is quick, so spend the time on prep. Wash the area with soapy water, rinse, and dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Strip wax or coating where the tape will go, and repair any chipped finish.
Hold each piece in place with the liner on and compare it with the photos. If it doesn't follow the pillar, try the other piece. When it lines up, put painter's tape at each end and write the position on the liner. Then peel, set it between the marks, press firmly from end to end and along both edges, and step back to check the pair looks even. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth. No abrasive pads or steel wool.
The Fitment and Specs tabs show the listing data, including the coupe tag.
Have a bucket, sponge, towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape and the photos ready before you begin.

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.
