Product Description
Lexus IS 2006-2013 Six-Piece Pillar Post Trim, PP26103
One bullet stands out. PP26103's listing lists "Upper" alongside "Pillar Post Trim." It's the only further detail in the record, and the catalog doesn't say what it means: which pieces, or upper relative to what. Rather than guess, look at the photos, and if it matters to your decision, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP26103.
The set. Six polished stainless pillar covers for the 2006-2013 Lexus IS, tagged 4-door, Sedan. $67.99, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless.
The alternative. PP26102 has four covers for the same years and body, without the "Upper" bullet. Neither listing names pillars or widths. Compare the galleries side by side, place each outline on your IS, and choose the set whose pieces match the brightwork you want. Order one.
The years. 2006-2013, eight model years. Check it, and that the car is the 4-door sedan on the fitment row. Lexus IS prep is set out on the Installation tab.
What they do. Cosmetic only: a bright face over the posts between the side windows, with doors, glass and seals untouched.
The steel. Grade 304 resists corrosion without plating, so there's no coating to chip and no different metal under a scratch. Soapy water keeps it clean.
The mounting. Six strips of 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, one per cover, pressed directly over the existing surface of the IS's posts. No holes and no Lexus trim removed. Temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
The prep. On a 2006-2013 IS, check all six posts closely before fitting anything: wax, a pale chalky haze, hairline cracks or a lifting edge will each weaken a cover's hold. Fix them, then wash, dry and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol until a lint-free cloth comes away clean.
The supplies. Soap, a bucket, alcohol, cloths, painter's tape and a pencil for numbering six outlines, plus a helper to stand back and judge whether the IS covers match.
The fit. Work in shade on a still, dry day. Match the six covers to the gallery and call if any is bent or missing. Set them out as the photos show. Mark every position first, backing on, with numbered painter's tape. Then fit two at a time, pressing each cover hard from end to end and down both edges, and look along the sedan from the front before starting the next two.
The fallback. A cover that won't lie flat keeps its backing while you ring 877-752-3811.
The care. Keep the IS dry until the cure time passes; then it washes with the paint.
The time. Plan for a longer session than a four-cover job; six posts take a while to clean and mark properly, and the marking is what keeps the covers level.
The last check. Before ordering, stand beside the IS with the gallery on your phone and give each of the six shapes a post. If one has no obvious home, or the "Upper" bullet leaves you unsure, call first.

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.
