Product Description
Lexus LS500 2018-2025 Four-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim (PP18100)
PP18100 dresses the pillars of a Lexus LS500 4-door sedan with four polished stainless covers. It's listed for model years 2018 through 2025, and it has one sibling, the six-piece PP18101. No other LS500 parts appear on this sheet.
Fitment comes first. The single row reads Lexus LS500, 2018-2025, 4-door, Sedan, which is eight model years and one body style. The model name on the row is LS500, so make sure that's what your records show. If anything differs, Quality Automotive Trims can confirm at 877-752-3811; quote PP18100.
Then the count. The two LS500 listings give four and six pieces and nothing more about coverage. There are no notes, no widths, and no pillar names. Rather than guess what the two further covers dress, look at both galleries for outlines that appear in one and not the other. If the four here are what you're after, this is the simpler purchase at $73.49. The six-piece LS500 photos show what more you'd get; call with questions.
All four covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. Being solid stainless rather than plated, they have no top layer to cloud or chip. Each one goes on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, with no drilling and no trim removed.
Pillar trim, briefly, is a set of thin covers shaped to the upright panels beside the side windows. They sit on the face of those panels and give them a bright finish while the panel itself stays untouched. Since nothing is cut or replaced, a careful owner can do the whole job at home in a single session.
Four covers also makes this the natural choice if you want to see how polished stainless looks on the LS500 before deciding whether you want more of it elsewhere on the car.
How the install goes
The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time; pick a dry, mild day out of direct sun to suit it.
Open the box and check four covers against the gallery. Anything bent or missing is worth a call before you start.
Clean thoroughly, since a good bond depends on it. Wash the pillar areas with mild shampoo, rinse and dry. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and give it a moment to evaporate. A waxed or ceramic-coated surface needs that layer removed where the tape will touch.
Next, match the four to the photos and keep the liners on. Hold each cover to its pillar, confirm the edges follow the outline, and mark the position with painter's tape. Once all four have marks, peel one liner, lay the cover on its marks and press steadily along its full length and both edges. Fit the next cover right away, then do the last two the same way.
Finish by looking along the side of the car from a few paces back. Any cover that won't sit flat should keep its liner on while you call 877-752-3811. After the cure, wash with regular car soap and a soft mitt, and dry with a clean towel.

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.
