Product Description
PP26102: Four-Piece Stainless Pillar Covers for the 2006-2013 Lexus IS Sedan
For the 2006-2013 Lexus IS 4-door sedan, PP26102 is the four-cover pillar set. It costs $56.99 and is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA. Its linked alternative, PP26103, has six covers, and that listing carries one bullet, "Upper," that this one doesn't. The catalog doesn't explain what "Upper" refers to, so don't read anything into it; compare the photos of both sets instead, or ask.
Neither listing names its pillars or gives a width. The galleries are the only real way to see the difference. Bring the two up together, look at each outline, and picture it on your IS. Four covers is the quicker job and the smaller spend. If the six-piece pictures match the polished look you want better, go with that. Order one set.
Eight model years are listed, 2006-2013. Check yours, and that the car is the sedan the row describes. For any question, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP26102.
The covers are cosmetic, a polished stainless face over the posts between the side windows. They don't alter the doors, glass or seals. Grade 304 resists corrosion without plating, so there's no coating to flake and nothing different under a scuff. A wash with soapy water is all the care it needs.
Four strips of 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape do the holding, pressed directly over the existing surface of the IS's posts. You won't drill, and the Lexus trim stays in place. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Eight model years of IS sedans means posts in every kind of condition. On yours, look for a dull bloom, fine cracking, a corner beginning to lift or a waxy film, and put any of those right; the tape sticks to that surface and no deeper. Then wash, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth.
Kit for four covers is short: car soap and a bucket, alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape. A helper is handy for the later covers, where the aim is to match the first ones.
Pick a calm, dry day in shade. Match the four covers to the gallery and call about any that are bent or missing. The front pair comes first: with the backing on, hold the first IS cover where it belongs, adjust until the gaps look even, and mark its outline. Mark the next cover the same way and compare them from in front of the sedan. Peel and press each firmly along its length and edges, then repeat for the rear pair.
A cover that won't sit flat keeps its backing while you phone 877-752-3811. Keep the IS out of rain until the cure time ends, then wash the covers with the rest of the car.
Most of the session is cleaning; pressing four covers on takes only minutes once the outlines are drawn. Before ordering, give each of the four shapes in the gallery a post on your IS.

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.
