Product Description
PP18561 Pillar Post Covers for the 2018-2020 Nissan Kicks: 4 Pieces
This is PP18561, a four-piece polished stainless pillar post set for the 2018-2020 Nissan Kicks 4-door SUV, listed at $84.49. Its linked partner, PP18560, matches it on paper: also four pieces, also the Kicks, also 2018-2020 and the 4-door SUV tag. Neither listing explains what makes them different, which is why the photos and a phone call matter more than usual here.
Here's how we'd approach the choice. Open this gallery and the PP18560 gallery in two windows. Look at each cover's outline, its length compared with the others and any curve or cut-out, then walk out to your Kicks and compare. Whichever set matches the panels on your vehicle is the right one. If nothing is obviously different, or both seem to fit, don't pick on price alone; call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about PP18561. Before ordering both, compare the Kicks galleries.
Some facts aren't in question. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. Because the shine is the steel's own surface rather than a coating over plastic, there's nothing to flake. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. No drilling, and no factory parts come off.
Also missing from the sheet: the pillar names and any width. So we can't say which uprights the four covers dress, only that they're pillar post trim made for this Kicks. The photos show the shapes.
Before ordering, also confirm your model year. Only 2018 through 2020 are listed; if your Kicks is a different year, or your records and the listing don't agree, call first. It is easier to sort out fitment before the box ships than after.
A few supplies make the job easier: a gentle car soap, a bucket and sponge, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, a roll of painter's tape and a pencil to label the backings. Nothing needs to be taken apart.
When you're ready to fit them, the Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time; follow those over anything written here. In practice the work goes like this. Park out of direct sun on a dry day. Count the covers and check that none are bent. Wash the pillars, rinse, dry, then wipe each with isopropyl alcohol and let it flash off, removing any wax or ceramic layer where tape will go.
Place the four Kicks covers next to the photos before starting. Test-fit each one with the backing still attached and mark its edges with painter's tape so you have a target. Peel, place and press with steady pressure along the whole length, being thorough at the ends and edges. Fit the next cover before starting the last two, so you can compare as you go.
A cover that won't sit flush is a reason to stop and call, not to press harder. Leave the backing on and ring 877-752-3811.
Once the cure time has passed, wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a soft towel. The polished steel needs nothing more than that.

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.
