Product Description
Lexus RX350 / RX450 2016-2022 Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP16125)
PP16125 is a four-piece pillar post set titled for the 2016-2022 Lexus RX350, but its fitment tab carries three rows, and they're worth reading closely before you order:
- Lexus RX350, 2016-2022, 4-door SUV
- Lexus RX450, 2016-2020, 4-door SUV
- Lexus RX350, 2016-2020, 4-door SUV (a shorter repeat of the first row)
Two things stand out. The RX450 row stops at 2020 while the RX350 runs to 2022, and the title gives each model its own span to match. The second RX350 row repeats the first with an earlier end year, which we've flagged for review. The years every row agrees on are 2016 through 2020. If you own an RX350 newer than 2020, up to 2022, the first row lists it. If you own an RX450 newer than 2020, no row lists it. In either case, a quick call to 877-752-3811 with PP16125 settles the fit before you buy.
The set
Four covers in polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface: no drilling, nothing removed. The listing doesn't state how long the tape holds, and we don't either.
Four, six or eight
The other RX sets are PP16126 (six pieces, no note) and PP16127 (eight pieces, noted "Includes Rear Triangle piece"). This four-piece listing doesn't mention a triangle, so don't expect one. None of the three names its pillars. Buy one RX350 set; if two appeal, compare their photos or ring 877-752-3811 first.
Why start with four
Four covers is the quickest of the three RX installs, with the least prep and the fewest liners to keep track of. If the photos show it covers the posts you care about, there's no need to go bigger; if they don't, the six- and eight-piece galleries are the next place to look.
Why polished 304
It's stainless through its full thickness, so there's no plated finish to lift, and the 26 gauge sheet keeps each cover thin against the pillar.
Prep
Wash the pillars with car shampoo, rinse well, and towel dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it flash off. If the paint carries wax or a ceramic coating, remove it where the covers will sit.
Install
Try each cover on its post with the liner still attached and adjust until both edges look even. Mark the ends with painter's tape and write the door on the liner. Then peel and press one cover at a time, firmly along the length and both edges. The Installation tab lists temperature limits and cure time.
Setup and arrival
A dry day out of strong sun and a step stool for the upper ends. A cool panel lets the alcohol dry evenly, and someone standing a few paces back can tell you whether each cover looks level before its liner comes off. Have the car soap, towels, alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape and a pen ready. On arrival, check four covers against the photos; if one won't sit flat, keep its liner on, try another pillar, then call Quality Automotive Trims. Ordinary car soap keeps it bright.

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.
