Product Description
Infiniti I30 and Nissan Maxima Four-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim (PP95540)
PP95540 covers two related sedans with one kit. QAA lists these four mirror-polished stainless steel pillar covers for the 4-door Infiniti I30 from 1996 to 1999 and the 4-door Nissan Maxima from 1995 to 1999. The pieces are made in the USA from 304 stainless.
Two vehicles, one record
The product title names the Infiniti I30 and the Nissan Maxima, and the fitment record has a row for each. The years differ slightly: the Maxima listing starts in 1995, a year before the I30, and both end in 1999. The Fitment tab shows both entries.
Years at a glance
- Infiniti I30, 4-door sedan: 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999
- Nissan Maxima, 4-door sedan: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999
Four or six
QAA also lists PP95541, a six-piece kit with the same two-vehicle fitment. Neither kit has a coverage note, so the data does not say which posts these four covers dress or what the six-piece kit includes. Compare the photos to choose.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The finish is the steel, not a plated coating, so it does not flake.
Mounting
The four covers for the I30 and Maxima fit over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and no trim comes off. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Prepare the paint
On a sedan from the late nineties, years of wax can sit on the pillars. Wash, dry, and wipe each pillar with a wax-free cleaner, and repair any lifting paint before you install.
Installation
On a dry, mild day, hold each cover in place with its liner on and compare it with the photos. Peel and press firmly from end to end once it lines up. Fit one cover, check it from both ends of the car, then match the next. Leave the tape a few days before washing. The Installation tab has full steps.
Why four
Four pieces are the lighter touch and the quicker job. If you want a fuller frame around the glass, the six-piece kit is the alternative; each is a complete set.
Care
Wash with mild soap, rinse, and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads.
Handling
Keep the covers on a towel while you work and avoid touching exposed adhesive.
Before ordering
Confirm the make, model, and year on your registration.
What pillar posts are
The upright body sections beside the door windows. A polished cover gives each one a bright outline, and the original pillar stays in place underneath, unchanged.
Placement tips
With four covers, each piece is easy to judge by eye. Place the first carefully, step back, and look along the sedan before pressing it down hard. Then match each later cover using the door edge and window corner as references. Small corrections belong in the dry-fit; once pressed, the tape is firm.

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.
