Product Description
PP23100: Lexus LS430 2001-2006 Pillar Post Trim, Four Polished Covers
For the 2001-2006 Lexus LS430 sedan, PP23100 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers at $56.99. It's made in the USA, and it shares the page with one linked alternative: PP23101, a six-piece set for the same car.
Fitment, plainly. One row: Lexus LS430, 2001-2006, 4-door, Sedan. Six model years, one body. If your records show a year in that span, you're in the listed range. If it doesn't, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering and mention PP23100.
Choosing four or six. Neither LS430 listing explains its covers. There's no pillar list, no width and no note, so the photos carry the whole story. Open the two galleries next to each other, spot the shapes that appear only in the six-piece set, and ask yourself whether you'd like those areas in polished steel. If you wouldn't, four covers keeps the job short. Choose one set. They're alternatives, so buy one.
The purpose. Pillar covers are cosmetic. They dress the posts between the side windows in polished steel, leaving the structure untouched, and give the LS430's glass a bright frame against the paint.
The metal. 26 gauge 304 stainless, polished to a bright finish. Nothing is plated, so a scuff shows the same steel rather than a different layer underneath, and plain washing keeps the shine.
The mount. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, applied directly over the existing surface. You won't need a drill, and you won't remove any trim. The Installation tab sets out the temperature range and the cure time for the tape.
The surface. These are cars with some years on them, and the tape can only hold as well as the finish under it. Look at each post in good light. A finish that's turned chalky, shows fine cracks or has started lifting needs repair first. Draw a fingertip along it: if it picks up a powdery residue, deal with that before going further. A smooth, firm finish needs only cleaning.
The fit. Choose a dry, calm day in the shade. Check the four covers against the photos and phone if one is bent or missing. Wash and dry the posts, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth comes away clean. Match the covers to the photos, try each in place with its liner on, and mark its outline with painter's tape. Peel, place, and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Do the next cover right after so you can compare the two.
If it doesn't sit right. Keep the liner on and call 877-752-3811. Don't force a cover into place.
Care. Once cured, wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a soft towel. The listing says mirror polished.
Time. An unhurried session is plenty. Most of it goes on cleaning and marking.
One more look. Before you buy, hold the photos up next to the LS430 and confirm each of the four shapes 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.
