Product Description
Honda Civic Sedan 2001-2005 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP22214)
PP22214 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the 2001-2005 Honda Civic, tagged 4-door Sedan, at $56.99. The sheet links two other Civic pillar sets, and they're not the same kind of choice. PP22215 is a six-piece set with the same 4-door Sedan tag. PP25212 is a two-piece set tagged 2-door Coupe, so it's listed for a different body and isn't an alternative for a sedan owner.
So for a 2001-2005 Civic sedan, the real decision is four covers or six. The listings don't describe the covers: no notes, no widths, no pillar names. Compare this gallery with the six-piece gallery and look for any outline that appears only in the larger set. If you'd like those areas in stainless, the six-piece set suits you. If not, four is the quicker install. The two Civic galleries show the difference; call if you'd like help choosing.
The fitment row reads Honda Civic, 2001-2005, 4-door, Sedan, five model years. PP22214 is tagged for the Civic over 2001 through 2005. If either doesn't match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP22214 before ordering. If you have the coupe, ask about the coupe set instead.
Each cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. There's no plated coat, so the shine can't flake off. The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface; you won't drill, and the Civic's trim stays in place.
Look at the pillar finish before you start. The tape holds to that finish, so if years of sun have left it chalky, cracked or lifting, it needs repair first. A smooth, firm finish needs nothing beyond a good clean.
The Installation tab lists the tape's temperature range and cure time. Follow those.
What counts as pillar trim? On the Civic sedan, the pillars are the upright panels between and beside the side windows. Each cover is a thin stainless shape laid over one of them, giving a polished face while leaving everything beneath untouched.
How to fit the four covers
Choose a dry, still day and a shady spot for the Civic. Have mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, several lint-free cloths and painter's tape ready.
Unpack the covers and check each against the photos. Call if one is bent or missing.
Wash, rinse and dry each Honda pillar face. Follow with isopropyl alcohol, swapping to clean cloths until one stays spotless, and allow it to evaporate.
Check every Civic cover against the listing images. Hold each in place with its liner on until the edges sit right, then outline it with painter's tape. Peel, set the cover in its outline and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next one and compare the two before doing the last two.
If a Civic cover won't settle flat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the tape has cured, the Honda's covers take ordinary car soap and a soft towel.
One more check before buying: open the photos on your phone beside the car and make sure each shape has an obvious place.

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.
