Product Description
Acura TLX 2015-2020 Stainless Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP15295)
Acura TLX sedans from 2015 through 2020 have two QAA pillar post sets to choose from, and PP15295 is the four-cover one. It's polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA. The catalog lists it on a single row, Acura TLX 2015-2020, with the tags 4-door and Sedan, which is word for word the title.
Choosing it over PP15296. The six-piece PP15296 is the only alternative. The catalog gives both sets the same blank profile: no notes, no list of the pillars they cover, nothing about a triangle or mirror piece. With that little written down, the decision happens in the photo galleries. Look at the outlines in each, count them, and see whether the six-piece set shows anything you'd want on your TLX that this one doesn't. If not, four covers is the quicker, simpler job. Settle on one set; we can talk it through at 877-752-3811.
Attachment. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape goes on directly over the existing surface. That means no holes in the TLX and no factory trim coming off. This listing says nothing about how long the tape holds, and we won't put a figure on it.
The steel. 304 stainless, polished. Its brightness comes from the metal, not a coat over it, so there's nothing to flake, and 26 gauge keeps each cover close on the pillar.
Surface work. Here's the order: wash the pillars with a gentle car soap; rinse them until no suds remain; dry them with a clean towel; then wipe each with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free rag and let it dry by itself. A waxed or ceramic-coated pillar needs that layer removed where the cover will sit, or the tape will grip the coating instead of the paint.
Putting them on. Before peeling anything, try each cover in place. With its liner still attached, line it up until both edges look even along its post. Two small pieces of painter's tape, one at each end, hold that spot for you, and a pen note on the liner says which door it's for. When all four are placed, go back and commit them one by one: peel, set, and press hard from one end to the other and along each edge. The Installation tab lists temperature limits and the cure time.
Setting. A dry day, no strong sun on the paint, and a step stool for the top of each pillar. A cool surface lets the alcohol flash off evenly and gives the tape a fair start.
Fit confirmation. Check that your records read TLX and a year from 2015 through 2020. For anything else, phone 877-752-3811 with PP15295 before you order.
When it arrives. Match the four covers to the gallery. If one won't lie flat, keep its liner on and test it on another pillar, then call Quality Automotive Trims if it still won't settle. Afterward, wash it as you would the paint, with ordinary car soap.

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.
