Product Description
Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 1994-1997 Accord 4-Door (PP96282)
PP96282 dresses the pillar posts on a 1994-1997 Honda Accord 4-door sedan with six mirror-polished 304 stainless steel covers. It is the larger of two pillar kits QAA catalogs for this sedan, made in the USA, and installed with 3M tape.
Picking between six and four
The four-piece alternative is PP96281. If you want the most polished trim the catalog offers for this car, six is the bigger set. The data does not carry a coverage note for either kit, though, so it does not tell us where the two further pieces go. Check the photos, and call if you need more detail before choosing.

A note for coupe owners
This kit is recorded for the sedan. QAA lists a six-piece rocker kit (TH94251) for the 2-door coupe of the same years, but not a pillar kit on this sheet. If you have the coupe, ask before ordering.
Lower body option
For the sedan, TH94281 is an eight-piece upper rocker panel kit that, per its note, runs from the bottom of the molding down to the specified width.
Mounted, not modified
The covers sit on top of the existing pillars. You do not remove trim. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Why no plating
Chrome plating can lift once its surface wears through. These covers are polished stainless all the way through, so there is no separate layer to fail, and the six pieces keep a uniform look.
Paint condition counts
Adhesive needs a sound surface. On an Accord of this age, inspect the pillars for faded or peeling clear. Clean them with soap and water, dry, and remove any wax with a residue-free wipe. Repair any flaking before mounting.
Laying out the job
- Choose a mild, dry day and work in shade.
- Pair each of the six Accord covers with its spot in the listing photos.
- Test-fit each cover with its liner still on.
- Peel, align with the door frame, and press firmly end to end.
- Fit one cover and inspect it before the next.
- Let the bond cure a few days before washing.
The Installation tab goes into more depth.
Cleaning
Mild soap and a soft towel. No abrasives.
Handling the pieces
Six covers means six liners to peel. Keep everything on a soft towel, handle each piece by its edges, and peel a liner only when that cover is about to go on. Dust and fingerprints on the adhesive are the most common reason a corner does not stay down.
Why it is worth doing
For an Accord that still runs well, polished pillars are an inexpensive way to make it look cared for, with no permanent change to the body.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
