PP25260: Four Polished Pillar Covers for the 2003-2008 Honda Pilot
A 2003-2008 Honda Pilot with polished posts between its windows: that's what PP25260 is for. It's a four-piece set of stainless pillar covers for the 4-door SUV, priced at $67.99 and made in the USA. The linked alternative is a six-piece set, PP25261.
The Pilot has other pillar sets in this catalog for later years, and they aren't linked to this one. So check the Pilot's year before anything else. This listing covers 2003-2008, six model years. If your Pilot is newer, it isn't listed for this set. Questions about fit can go to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811; quote PP25260.
Between the four and six-piece sets, the listings offer nothing but the count. You won't find pillar names, widths or notes on either. Instead, compare the galleries. Note what differs, then look at your Pilot and decide which areas you'd like dressed in steel. If these four shapes are all you want, you get the shorter job. If the six-piece photos are what you want, go that way. You'd fit one Pilot set, not two; ring 877-752-3811 before combining.
The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless with a polished finish, made to sit over the posts between the side windows. They're cosmetic and nothing structural changes. The steel resists corrosion and isn't plated, so there's no coating to flake or wear through. Ordinary washing keeps it bright.
They go on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. No drilling, and no trim to take off. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time, which are worth reading before you begin.
Spend a few minutes on the posts before fitting. The tape grips the finish that's there now, and on an SUV of this age it may have weathered. A chalky layer, hairline cracks, a peeling corner or a coat of old wax will all weaken the bond. Repair and strip as needed, then wash, dry and wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean.
Fitting needs a dry, still day and shade. Take the four covers out and compare each with the photos, calling if one is bent or missing. Compare the Pilot covers with the gallery before peeling. Offer each up to its post with the backing on, nudge it into line, and trace around it with painter's tape. Peel the backing, set the cover into its outline and press hard along its length and both edges. Fit the next cover right away so you can compare. A step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
If a cover won't lie flat, leave the backing on and phone 877-752-3811. After curing, wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel.
Allow an unhurried session; the prep takes longer than the fitting. A helper is useful for the dry fit. Before ordering, hold the gallery up beside the Pilot and match each of the four shapes to a post.

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.
