Product Description
Mitsubishi Galant 1999-2003 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP23001)
PP23001 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the 1999-2003 Mitsubishi Galant 4-door sedan, listed at $56.99 and made in the USA. It's the only pillar set on this sheet, so the question isn't which count to pick but whether this set suits your Galant.
Answer that in three parts.
Is it the right Galant? The row reads Mitsubishi Galant, 1999-2003, 4-door, Sedan. Five model years, one body. PP23001 lists the Galant from 1999 to 2003. If the year or body doesn't match, this set isn't listed for your car, and a call to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP23001 is the next step.
Do the shapes match? The listing doesn't name the pillars the covers go on, and it has no note or width. The photos show the four shapes. Open them on your phone, stand beside the car and find where each one would sit. If all four have a clear place, you're good. If one doesn't, ask before ordering.
Is the surface sound? The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, without drilling or removing any trim. The tape holds to the finish already on the pillar, so that finish has to be in good shape. After years of sun, it can turn chalky, crack or lift. Repair any such areas before fitting. A firm, smooth finish just needs cleaning.
If all three answers are yes, the rest is easy. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror look. Stainless doesn't need plating to shine, so there's no coating to peel, and washing is the only upkeep. It handles rain and sun without any fuss at all.
Fitting the four covers
Read the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time, and keep within both. Allow an unhurried session; cleaning and outlining take most of it.
Pick a dry, calm day and park in the shade. Gather mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, several lint-free cloths and painter's tape.
Unpack the covers and compare each with the photos. Call if anything is bent or missing.
Wash the pillars, rinse and dry them, then wipe each with isopropyl alcohol. Change to clean cloths until one comes away spotless, and let the surface dry.
Arrange the Galant covers as they appear in the listing. Dry-fit each with the liner on, adjusting until the edges sit naturally, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the cover in its outline and press with firm, even strokes along its length and both edges. Fit the next cover straight away and compare the two before doing the last two.
A Galant cover that won't lie flat should keep its liner on while you ring 877-752-3811. After curing, car soap and a soft towel are all the Mitsubishi's four covers need.
A small tip: start with the cover that's easiest to see from where you stand. Once it's right, it gives you a reference line for the rest.

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.
