Product Description
Nissan Altima Sedan 2013-2018 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP13550)
PP13550 puts four polished stainless covers on the pillars of a 2013-2018 Nissan Altima. The steel is 26 gauge 304, made in the USA, and the fitment row reads Nissan Altima 2013-2018, tagged 4-door and Sedan. The title says the same thing, so there's no conflict to sort out; just confirm your year and body.
Q: How do four pieces compare with the other Altima sets?
The sheet lists three pillar post sets for this sedan: PP13550 with four pieces, PP13551 with six, and PP13552 with eight. None of them carries a note, and none states which pillars it dresses. Counts alone don't show where the further pieces go, so open the photos for all three and look for outlines that appear in one but not the others. Choose a single set; we can talk it through at 877-752-3811.
Q: How does it attach?
With 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. There's no drilling, and nothing on the doors has to come off. Altima pillar prep is on the Installation tab, including the cleaning steps, the working temperature range and the cure time before washing.
Q: Why stainless?
The covers are solid polished 304 stainless, and the 26 gauge sheet is slim, so each sits tight against a pillar while holding its shape.
Q: What else is listed for this Altima?
Five more parts share the sedan's sheet. MC13550 is a two-piece mirror cover set. GC13550 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. RD13550 is a one-piece rear deck accent at a 1.375 width. TH13550 is a four-piece lower rocker kit that goes on the doors only, spanning from the bottom of the door up to its listed 1.5. Each of those listings gives its own finish, so check them individually.
Q: How should I prep?
Wash the pillars with a gentle soap, rinse, and towel them dry. Follow with a wipe of rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, and let it evaporate. Any wax or coating where tape will sit needs to come off first, since tape bonds to the top layer.
Q: What's the easiest way to fit them?
Leave the backing on and hold each cover to a pillar to find where it sits flush. Tag both ends with painter's tape and jot the door position on the backing. Once all four are mapped, peel one, set it between the marks, and press firmly from end to end. Step back and compare the covers before doing the next one. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Q: When is the best time?
A dry day, in shade or a garage. A hot panel or damp air works against the tape, and shade lets the alcohol flash evenly.
Q: Anything to check on delivery?
Count four covers against the photos. If a piece doesn't seem to match your Altima, keep its backing on and call 877-752-3811 with PP13550 and your model year.

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.
