Product Description
Infiniti M45 2003-2004 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP23058)
PP23058 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the Infiniti M45 4-door sedan, and it's listed for just two model years: 2003 and 2004. It's priced at $56.99, made in the USA, and it's the only pillar set on this sheet.
Two years, one body
The fitment row reads Infiniti M45, 2003-2004, 4-door, Sedan. That short window makes your records check essential. If your M45 is a different year, this set isn't listed for it, and the catalog doesn't explain the narrow range. Rather than assume a later or earlier car will match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about PP23058.
What the listing does and doesn't say
It confirms four covers of 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. It confirms the mounting: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface, with no drilling and no trim removal. It doesn't say which pillars the covers go on, and there's no note or width. The photos show the four shapes. Match each one to a panel on your M45 before buying; if one has no obvious place, ask first.
A pre-order look
Open the photos on your phone beside the M45 and match the four shapes. Feel the finish on each pillar at the same time. Both checks take a couple of minutes.
The steel
Because stainless gets its shine from the metal rather than a plating, there's no thin bright layer that could lift or tarnish. Ordinary washing keeps it bright.
The surface
The tape grips the existing finish, so inspect each pillar. A surface that has gone powdery, crazed or loose with age needs repair before fitting. A smooth, firm finish just needs a thorough clean. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time.
Installing the set
Choose a dry, calm day and work in the shade. Have mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, a handful of lint-free cloths and painter's tape ready.
Unpack the covers and compare them with the photos. If one is bent or missing, call before going on.
Wash, rinse and dry the pillar faces, then wipe each with isopropyl alcohol. Keep using clean cloths until one stays spotless, and let it dry.
Use the gallery to sort the M45 covers. Hold each in place with its liner on, adjust until the edges look right, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, place in the outline and press firmly along the full length and both edges. Fit the next cover, compare the two, then finish the remaining two.
If an M45 cover won't sit flat, keep the liner on it and ring 877-752-3811. Once the tape has cured, the Infiniti's four covers take ordinary car soap and a soft towel.
What is pillar trim, if you're new to it? The pillars are the upright panels around the side windows, and each cover is a thin stainless shape that lies on one of them. Nothing underneath changes; a clean surface and careful placement do 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.
