Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the Pontiac Grand Prix Sedan 1997-2003 (PP37281)
PP37281 is the six-cover pillar post set for the Pontiac Grand Prix, model years 1997-2003, priced at $67.99. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA. Its only fitment row reads 4-door, Sedan.
Six or four. The linked four-cover set, PP37280, lists the same years and body. Neither listing says which posts its covers are for, and neither gives widths or notes, so you'll make the choice from the photos. Open both galleries, count six shapes in this one, and look along your Grand Prix to see where each would sit. If all six land on posts you'd like in polished steel, this is the set. If the four-cover gallery is closer to what you want, PP37280 is the page to order from. Doing this with the car in front of you, rather than from memory, takes only a few minutes and settles most questions.
Not part of the set. GC37280, also linked, is a one-piece gas door cover. It's a separate part with its own page and its own fitment details, so read that listing if you're interested in it.
Your car. Seven years share the one row, with nothing within them called out, so the same check applies to any year in range. Make sure your records show a four-door sedan. Quality Automotive Trims is on 877-752-3811 if you'd like help; mention PP37281 and the year.
What changes. Only the appearance of the posts. The six covers lie over them beside the windows, and the doors, glass and weatherstrip work as before. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion through its own chemistry, not a coating.
Attachment. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape fixes each cover to the existing paint or trim of its post. The Pontiac isn't drilled, and nothing is removed. Plan around the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab.
Getting the six posts ready. Wax and polish come off first; chalky, crazed or flaking spots get repaired. Then wash with car soap, rinse, let the posts dry right through, and wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, swapping cloths until one stays white.
What to have. For the Grand Prix: car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil, and a helper to view the covers from front and rear.
The fitting. Work in shade on a dry, windless day. Count the six against the gallery and phone about any bend or shortfall. Group them by position, photos in hand. Liner on, offer each cover to its post, ease it until the margin is even, and box it in with painter's tape. Peel, drop it into the box, and press firmly along its full length and both edges. Fit the next cover, then go on. The six Grand Prix covers are stainless.
If one won't seat. Keep its liner on and call 877-752-3811. After curing, the six wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel.

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.
