Product Description
PP22046: Six-Piece Pillar Trim for the 2002-2004 Infiniti I35
Six polished stainless covers for the pillars of the Infiniti I35 4-door sedan, model years 2002-2004: that's PP22046, at $67.99, made in the USA. Its linked alternative is the four-piece PP22045.
Three model years is a short range, so confirm yours before anything else. The row reads Infiniti I35, 2002-2004, 4-door, Sedan. Outside those years, this set isn't listed for your car. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about PP22046 if you're unsure.
The listing doesn't describe where the six covers go: there's no note, no width and no pillar names, and the four-piece listing is the same. So compare the galleries. Look for shapes in this set's photos that aren't in the four-piece photos, then match all six to your I35. If each has a home, this is the right count. If one doesn't, call before buying. The six I35 covers are meant to go on as a set by themselves; phone before combining.
The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished face. Because the shine comes from the steel and not a coating, there's nothing to blister or flake. They fix with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, so you won't drill and no trim comes off.
The tape's grip depends on the finish beneath it. On a car of this vintage, look for pillar surfaces that have gone chalky, cracked, or started to lift. Repair those before fitting. If the finish is smooth and sound, a thorough clean is all you need. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time; read it first.
Why pick six over four? Only because the photos show shapes you want in steel that the smaller set doesn't. The count alone isn't a reason; the shapes are.
How long does it take? An unhurried session. Most of it goes on cleaning and marking.
Doing the fitting
Prepare the space. A dry, still day in the shade, with mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil.
Check the parts. Lay out the six covers and compare each with the photos. Call if anything's bent or missing.
Clean the pillars. Soap, rinse and dry. Then wipe with isopropyl alcohol, switching cloths until one stays clean, and let it evaporate.
Mark the positions. With each liner still on, hold the cover in place, settle the edges and box it in with painter's tape. Pencil its spot on the liner. Mark all six first.
Fix the covers. Two at a time, peel a liner, set the cover in its box and press with firm, even strokes from end to end and along both edges. Carry straight on to the following I35 cover.
Check the result. After each couple of covers, step away and look. If a cover won't sit flat, keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811.
Look after it. Once cured, wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a soft towel. According to the listing, the steel arrives polished to a mirror shine.

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.
