Product Description
2006-2011 Lexus GS Pillar Trim, Four Polished Stainless Covers (PP26108)
A Lexus GS from 2006-2011 has two linked pillar sets in this catalog. PP26108 is the four-piece version, priced at $67.99; PP26109 is the six-piece. Both are tagged 4-door, Sedan, and both are made in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless.
So which one? The listings won't say outright, because neither names the pillars its covers go on or records a width. What they do have is photographs. Scroll through both galleries, take in the outline of every cover, and picture where it would sit on your GS. Four pieces is a lighter job and a smaller outlay. Six suits you if those pictures show the bright finish you're after and these don't. Pick one listing, not both.
Six model years are covered. Your records confirm yours; if it reads earlier than 2006 or later than 2011, this set isn't listed for your car. A phone call to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 settles any doubt; quote PP26108.
Think of pillar covers as dress trim. Each is a slim polished panel over a post between the side windows, and it changes nothing about how doors close or how glass and seals behave. The steel is 304 grade, stainless all the way through rather than plated, so there's no skin to wear away. Rinse it with car soap and water and it stays bright.
Holding everything in place is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, applied directly over the existing surface. You won't need a drill, and you won't need to unclip any of the Lexus trim. Before choosing a day, glance at the Installation tab for the workable temperature range and the cure time.
The strength of the bond depends on what lies underneath, because the tape sticks to the current finish. Spend a few minutes on each post: a dusty, chalky feel, spidery crazing, an edge peeling up, or a greasy wax layer should all be put right before you go further. After that, soap, rinse, dry, and finish with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, repeating until a clean cloth shows no residue.
Four covers need only a short kit: soap and a bucket, alcohol, lint-free cloths and painter's tape. Someone to look along the GS from the front while you hold each cover is welcome but optional.
Wait for dry, settled weather and park in the shade. Open the box, count four covers, and check each against the photos; phone if one arrives bent or a piece is missing. Match each one to the photos. With its liner still on, rest each cover against its post, shuffle it until the gaps either side look equal, and box it in with strips of painter's tape. Now pull the liner, lower the cover into its box, and press hard from end to end and along both edges. Do the next cover immediately, then stand back and compare.
Should one refuse to lie flush, leave its liner on and call 877-752-3811. When the cure time has passed, wash with car soap and pat dry with a soft towel. Budget an unhurried session; cleaning is the long part.

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.
