Product Description
Four-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the 2016-2017 Honda Accord Sedan (PP16281)
PP16281 covers a narrow slice of the Accord line: the 4-door sedan from model years 2016 and 2017 only. That two-year window is the most important fact on this page, so start by confirming your car's year before anything else.
Two model years, one body
The fitment row reads Honda Accord 2016-2017, tagged 4-door and Sedan. No earlier or later year is listed, and no other body style. The Accord's model year is in your records. If your Accord falls outside 2016 or 2017, or it isn't a sedan, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP16281 and ask which part fits instead.
Four pieces or six
There are two Accord sedan pillar sets for these years: this four-piece set and the six-piece PP16282. Neither has notes, and neither names the pillars it covers, so the count is the only listed difference. Look at both galleries and note any outline that shows up in one but not the other. At $56.99, the four-piece set is the smaller job and the smaller spend. The six-piece Accord gallery is worth a look too, or call 877-752-3811.
What's in the set
Four covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. You won't need to drill, and nothing has to come off the car.
Other Accord sedan parts
The sheet for these years lists these parts. Widths are shown as the catalog gives them:
- AT16281, a four-piece body side molding accent with a listed width of 1.
- TH16281, a four-piece lower rocker panel kit at 1, on the doors only, spanning from the bottom of the door up to that width.
- TH16282, a two-piece rocker panel trim that installs below the door, at 1.25. Its note says "Does not fit Sport Model." That restriction is on TH16282, not on this pillar set.
- GC16281, a one-piece gas door cover trim.
- LP16281, a license plate bezel, and RB16281, a rear bumper trim accent.
RD16281 and WQ16281 are cross-listed by number only, so read their own pages.
Prep
Wash the Accord's pillar areas with car shampoo, rinse, and dry fully. Go over each with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth, let it flash off, and lift any wax or sealant where tape will go.
Fitting the four
The listing photos show where each Accord cover sits. With the liners on, hold each one in place, check that its edges follow the pillar, and mark the spot with painter's tape. Peel one liner at a time, press the cover onto your marks, and rub firmly along its full length and both edges. Fit the following cover next. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time. The four are polished stainless.
If a cover won't sit flat or you can't tell where it belongs, keep the liner on and call 877-752-3811. It's far simpler to sort out before the tape has touched anything.

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.
