Product Description
Acura ILX 2013-2022 Sedan Pillar Post Trim, Four Polished Stainless Pieces (PP13205)
Ten model years on a single row: PP13205 is listed for the Acura ILX 4-door sedan from 2013 all the way to 2022. It's a four-piece pillar post set in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the title gives the same span.
A run that long is worth a careful year check. Look at your records and confirm your ILX falls between 2013 and 2022, and that it's the sedan, the only body on the row. The listing doesn't split the range or note any change partway through, so if your car is inside the range and is the sedan, it matches the data. If you have any doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give us PP13205.
Four or six
The other ILX pillar set on this sheet is PP13206, with six pieces. Neither listing has notes and neither names its pillars, so compare the photos. Put the four- and six-piece photos side by side, note any shapes that appear in one and not the other, and find their spots on your car. If the four covers here take care of what you want, they're the quicker job. If the six-piece photos show a pillar you'd also like covered, go with that. The data doesn't say whether the sets overlap, so buy one.
How it attaches
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. You won't drill, and nothing comes off the car.
Prep
Wash the pillars with a mild soap, rinse and dry. Then degrease with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and give it a minute to evaporate. Remove wax, sealant or ceramic coating where the tape will sit. If the finish is chipped, fix it before covering it.
Placement
Hold each cover to its pillar with the backing on and check it against the photos. The edges should follow the pillar closely; if they don't, try another one. Mark both ends with painter's tape and write the spot on the backing.
Pressing
Peel one backing, set the cover between its marks and press firmly from end to end. Run your thumb along both edges. Repeat, then compare all four from a few steps back. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Light, tools, help
Shade or a garage keeps glare from hiding small misalignments. Have a bucket, soap, towels, rubbing alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a marker and the photos ready. A helper standing back can tell you whether each cover sits level. If one won't sit right, keep its backing on, photograph it in place and call us.
Upkeep
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, and keep steel wool away from them.
The Fitment and Specs tabs show the data for this listing.
Order of work. Fit the first two completely, then use them as the template for the rest. Measuring against a cover you've already fitted beats judging each one alone. Acura rows as cataloged are listed on the Fitment tab.

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.
