Product Description
Nissan Altima 2002-2006 Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP22550)
PP22550 is the four-piece polished stainless pillar post set for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima 4-door sedan, at $56.99. Three pillar sets are linked for this Altima: this one, the six-piece PP22551 and an eight-piece set numbered PP25552. That last part number doesn't follow the same pattern as the other two, but it's tagged for the same 4-door sedan. If the numbering makes you wonder whether it's really the same car, it's a fair question to put to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811.
The sheet also lists WP22550 and WP22551 by number. They're separate products with their own listings and aren't part of this set.
Fitment is one row: Nissan Altima, 2002-2006, 4-door, Sedan. Five model years. A look at your records settles it. If the year doesn't match, call with PP22550 before ordering.
So how do you choose among four, six and eight? Not from the listings, which carry no notes, widths or pillar names on any of the three. Only the counts differ. The photos do the real comparing. Scroll this gallery, then the other two, and note each outline that turns up in a larger set but not here. Then stand by your Altima and decide which of those areas you'd like in stainless. If none, four covers is the simplest install. The Altima photos place all four covers; call if you'd like to check.
Materially, the covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished face, made in the USA. No chrome coat sits on top, so there's nothing to flake. They're held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape laid directly over the existing surface: nothing drilled, nothing removed.
That tape is only as dependable as the finish it lands on. A sedan from these years has had plenty of sun, and pillar surfaces can go dull and powdery or start to crack and lift. Inspect them before you buy. Repair any damage first; sound, smooth finish just needs a deep clean, including the removal of old wax.
The Installation tab is the reference for the tape's temperature range and cure time. Beyond that, the job runs like this. On a dry, calm day in the shade, check the four covers against the photos and call if anything's bent or missing. Wash and dry the pillars, then wipe them with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean. Match the covers to the photos, dry-fit each with its liner on, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel and press one cover at a time with firm strokes along its length and edges, comparing each new cover with the last.
If a cover won't lie flat, stop with the liner on and call 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash with ordinary car soap.
A habit worth adopting: start with the cover that's easiest to see from where you're standing. Once it's placed well, it serves as a reference for the others, which then become simple to match.

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.
