Product Description
Honda Accord Sedan 1994-1997 Polished Pillar Covers, Four-Piece (PP96281)
If you are keeping a 1994-1997 Honda Accord sedan on the road and want it to look sharper, PP96281 is a low-effort place to start. It is a four-piece pillar post kit in mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, that presses on with 3M tape.
Sedan, not coupe
The fitment record is for the 4-door Accord sedan. QAA does list a rocker panel kit for the 2-door coupe of this era (TH94251), but no pillar kit for the coupe appears on this sheet. Coupe owners should check the Fitment tab or call rather than assume this one will work.
Years covered
1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997.
Two pillar kits for the sedan
This set has four covers. PP96282 is the six-piece kit for the same sedan. The catalog has no coverage note on either, so it does not state which posts the four here go on or what the two additional pieces in the larger kit are. The photos are the clearest way to compare.
Rockers for the same Accord
TH94281 is an eight-piece upper rocker panel kit listed for this sedan, noted as spanning from the bottom of the molding down to its specified width. It is a separate product if you want the lower body to match.
What the covers are
Four pieces of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish polished into the metal. No plated layer sits on top, so the finish cannot peel.
Tape mounting
The four Accord covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly onto the surface already there. QAA states the tape keeps its grip for a lifetime without harming the Honda.
Mind the clearcoat
A car approaching thirty years old can have tired clearcoat anywhere, pillars included, so look carefully before you start. Wash, dry, and wipe the pillars with a wax-free cleaner; if the clear is lifting or the paint is powdery, repair the spot first, because the tape will only hold as well as the layer it touches.
Fitting the four
On a dry, mild day, offer up each cover with its liner still on. Line it up with the window frame and door edge. Then peel and press firmly from one end to the other. Fit one Accord cover, check from front and rear, and match the next to it. Leave the car unwashed for a few days. Detailed steps are on the Installation tab.
Caring for polished steel
Hand wash with mild soap and dry with a soft cloth. Keep abrasive pads off the surface.
Before you order
Confirm the body style and year on your registration.
Why a pillar kit first
Pillar covers are small, quick to fit, and very visible, which makes them a sensible first step if you plan to fit more trim later. Start here, see how you like the look, and fit the rocker kit if you want the lower body to match.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
