Product Description
PP22551: Six-Piece Pillar Trim for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima
Six polished 304 stainless pillar covers for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima 4-door sedan: PP22551, made in the USA, $67.99. It's the middle option of three linked Altima pillar sets, between the four-piece PP22550 and an eight-piece set numbered PP25552.
A small catalog oddity: the eight-piece set's number, PP25552, breaks the pattern of the other two. Its tags match this Altima, though. We'd simply mention it so you're not surprised when comparing; if it raises a doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
WP22550 and WP22551 also appear on the sheet, by number only. They're separate products and aren't included here.
For fitment, there's one row: Nissan Altima, 2002-2006, 4-door, Sedan. Five model years. Outside that, this set isn't listed for your car, so call with PP22551 first.
The six covers aren't described. No note, no width, no pillar names, and the four and eight-piece listings are the same. That makes the photos essential. Compare this gallery with both of the others and notice which outlines appear and disappear as the count changes. Then hold the photos up beside your Altima and match every one of the six shapes to a panel. If each has a place, six is your number. If one doesn't, ask before ordering. Six pieces for the 2002-2006 Altima; the gallery shows where, and 877-752-3811 can confirm.
Every cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. Because the finish is the metal and not a coating, it can't peel, and it needs nothing more than ordinary washing. The covers fix with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. You won't drill, and the Altima's trim stays put.
New to pillar trim? On the 2002-2006 Altima, the pillars are the upright panels around the side windows, and each of the six covers is a thin stainless shape laid over one of them.
Check the surface beneath before you commit. The tape grips the existing finish; if that finish has gone powdery, crazed or lifting after years outdoors, it needs repair first. A firm, smooth surface is fine after cleaning.
When you fit the set, follow the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time. In outline: work on a dry, calm day in the shade; lay out the six covers and compare them with the photos, calling if anything's wrong; wash, dry and alcohol-wipe each pillar until a clean cloth stays clean; dry-fit each cover with its liner on and frame it with painter's tape, pencilling its spot on the liner; then peel and press one cover at a time, with firm strokes along the length and edges.
A cover that won't sit flat keeps its liner until you've called 877-752-3811. After curing, wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a soft towel.
Six pieces go more smoothly with a helper standing a few paces back to check the lines as you go. Allow an unhurried session; the marking stage takes the longest, and the pressing is quick once every position is framed.

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.
