Planning more Forte trim
If you're building a set, here's what this sheet shows for the same sedan:
- Two license bars, both above-plate accents at 1.8125 inches: LB10810 does not include key access, and LB10811 includes key access. Compare the photos of both against your car to see which one suits it.
- LP10810, a 1-piece license plate bezel listed at 8.25.
- RD10810, a 1-piece rear deck accent at 1.125 inches.
- TH10810, a 6-piece on-the-rocker trim at 2.5 inches, and TH10811, a 2-piece on-the-rocker trim at 1.25 inches; both install below the door.
WP10810, WP10811 and WQ10810 are cross-listed by number only, so check their own listings. If you're considering any of them alongside this set, ask us whether they overlap with the pillars here before ordering both.
Four pieces or six?
The four-piece set is quicker to install and has fewer parts to keep track of. The six-piece set has two more pieces, shown in its photos; open both galleries side by side and look at your Forte's pillars before choosing. Open both listings, look at the pillars on your Forte, and decide which coverage you want. Whether the sets share pieces isn't stated, so check the photos before buying both. If you'd rather talk it through, we're glad to help on the phone.
Preparing the pillars
Wash each pillar with soapy water and dry it. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth and let it flash off. Remove any wax or sealant where tape will sit, and repair chipped or peeling finish before you begin.
Install
Hold each piece against its pillar with the liner still on, compare with the photos, and write its position on the liner. Mark the ends with small strips of painter's tape. Then peel, align with your marks, and press firmly along the full length, finishing with a fingertip along each edge. When all four are on, look them over together. Choose a dry day within the Installation tab's temperature range and wait the listed cure time before washing.
Light matters
Glare off glass and polished steel hides small misalignments. Work in open shade or a bright garage for the dry fit and the final press.
Care
Mild soap and water and a soft cloth. No abrasive pads or steel wool.

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.
