PP22282: Six Polished Pillar Covers for the 2002 Honda Accord Sedan
PP22282 is a six-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers listed for a single model year: the 2002 Honda Accord 4-door sedan. Its title and row both read 2002-2002. The set is made in the USA and priced at $67.99, and the four-piece PP22281 is linked for the same year.
Start with that year. Because the listing covers 2002 only, check that before anything else. If your Accord is from another year, this set isn't listed for it, and the catalog doesn't say why the range is so narrow. Rather than take a chance, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP22282.
Once the year's confirmed, the question is coverage. The listing doesn't say which pillars the six covers go on, and it has no note or width. The four-piece listing is no more detailed. So the photos have to show you. Compare the two galleries, find the outlines that only this set has, and match all six shapes to panels on your Accord. If they all fit, you've got the right set. If one doesn't, call before you order. The four-piece Accord set's photos make a useful comparison with these six.
Before ordering, it also helps to stand beside the car with the photos open on your phone and look at each pillar. That way you can check shapes and surface in one go.
The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. They don't need plating to shine, so there's no coating to blister or peel. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, so the Accord isn't drilled and its trim isn't removed.
That tape holds to the pillar's existing finish, so look at it carefully. On a car from 2002, the finish may have gone chalky, crazed, or loose at an edge. Repair any of that before fitting. A sound, smooth finish is ready after a thorough clean.
The Installation tab sets the tape's temperature range and cure time. Read it, then pick a dry, calm day in the shade. Gather mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil.
On a towel, spread out the six Accord covers and compare them with the gallery. A bent or missing piece is a call before you start.
Wash, rinse and dry the pillar faces. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol, swapping to fresh cloths until one stays clean, and let it evaporate.
Hold each cover in place with its liner on, settle the edges and frame it with painter's tape. Pencil its spot on the liner. Frame all six before peeling any of them.
Do the Accord covers two together. Peel a liner, set the cover in its frame, and press with firm, even strokes along its full length and both edges. Fit the next one, then step back and compare.
If one of the 2002 Accord's six covers resists lying flat, leave its liner on and call 877-752-3811. Once cured, ordinary car soap and a soft towel keep them clean.

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.
