Product Description
Infiniti I35 2002-2004 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP22045)
PP22045 is a set of four polished stainless pillar covers for the Infiniti I35 4-door sedan, model years 2002-2004. It's listed at $56.99 and made in the USA. One other I35 pillar set is linked, the six-piece PP22046.
The year range here is short, just three model years, so start with the year. The row reads Infiniti I35, 2002-2004, 4-door, Sedan. If your I35 isn't one of those years, this listing doesn't cover it. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP22045 if you'd like it checked.
Four or six? The two listings give no notes, no widths and no pillar names, so the count is the only stated difference. Look through both galleries and find any outline the six-piece set shows that this one doesn't. Then look at your I35 and decide whether you want steel there. Four is the lighter job and covers the shapes in these photos. Not sure which I35 set? Look at both galleries, or ring 877-752-3811.
About the steel: 26 gauge 304 stainless, polished. There's no plated coat, so the finish has nothing to peel off. About the tape: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, applied directly over the existing surface. You won't drill, and the I35 keeps all its original trim.
About the surface: tape holds to the finish already on the pillar, so check it. On a car from these years, sun can leave the finish faded and powdery, or crazed, or loose at the edges. Get any of that repaired before fitting. A firm, smooth surface just needs a good clean. The Installation tab lists the tape's temperature range and cure time.
How the fitting goes, once you've checked the surface and read the tab. Allow an unhurried session; cleaning and marking take most of the time, and pressing is quick.
A note on why stainless suits this spot: pillar covers sit beside the side glass, in rain, sun and every wash. Solid polished steel keeps its finish through all of that with no coating to wear.
- Choose a dry, still day and a shaded spot.
- Have mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, lots of lint-free cloths and painter's tape to hand.
- Unpack the I35's four covers and compare each with the photos. Phone if any piece is bent or missing.
- Wash, rinse and dry the pillars.
- Wipe with alcohol, changing cloths until one stays clean, and let it evaporate.
- Set out the four covers and match each to the product photos.
- Hold each in place with the liner on and frame it with painter's tape.
- Peel, set in the frame and press firmly from end to end and along each edge.
- Fit the next cover, compare, then do the last two.
An I35 cover that won't sit flat shouldn't be forced; keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811. After the cure time, the Infiniti's covers take ordinary car soap and a soft towel.
A tip before you buy: open the photos on your phone beside the car and make sure each of the four shapes has an obvious place. It takes a minute and avoids a return.

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.
