Product Description
Lexus CT 2011-2017 Hatchback Pillar Post Trim, 4-Piece Stainless (PP11195)
PP11195 brings four pieces of polished stainless steel to the pillars of the Lexus CT, model years 2011 through 2017, tagged 4-door hatchback. The CT has two pillar sets on this sheet: this four-piece one and PP11196 with six. They share a fitment row and neither carries a note, so the product photos are the only place that shows which pillars each one dresses. A minute spent comparing them saves guesswork later.
Who the four-piece set suits. Someone who wants stainless on the pillars shown in these photos and nothing more, with the shortest possible install. If the six-piece photos show a pillar you also want covered, look at PP11196 instead. Whether the two sets share pieces isn't stated, so look at the photos before ordering both.
Row and title. Lexus CT, 2011-2017, 4-door, hatchback; the title says the same. The CT's model year is on your records. With any doubt, phone Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP11195.
Material. 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. No width is given.
Attachment. The CT's four covers go onto the existing pillar surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape; no drilling, and nothing comes off the Lexus.
Surface work. Pillars sitting next to glass tend to collect residue from window cleaner as well as road film. Wash them with a sponge and soapy water, rinse, and towel dry. Then wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Wax, sealant or a ceramic coating must come off the bonding area. Any chips or flaking finish should be repaired before you go further.
Dry fit. Match each piece to the photos and offer it up to its pillar with the backing still in place. Once its outline follows the pillar edges, write the location on the backing and put a short strip of painter's tape at each end as a target. A piece that seems wrong may simply belong on another pillar; try it there before deciding anything.
Final fit. Peel a backing, place the piece between its marks, and press hard from one end to the other, then run a fingertip down each edge. Do the remaining three the same way. Stand back and check that the four covers match. A mild, dry day within the Installation tab's range suits the tape, and the tab gives the cure time to wait before washing.
Light. Reflections off the glass and the polished steel can hide a slightly crooked edge in bright sun. Open shade or a well-lit garage shows the margins along each pillar much more clearly, and it keeps the panel from getting hot while you work.
Before you call. Have the model year and a straight-on photo of the side windows ready; that helps us confirm fit or help you choose between the two sets.
Upkeep. Clean the CT's four covers with mild soap and water on a soft cloth; keep steel wool and scouring pads off the polish.

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.
