Product Description
Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim, 2007-2012 Nissan Altima Sedan (PP27551)
PP27551 is the six-cover pillar set for the Nissan Altima sedan from 2007-2012. It costs $67.99 and is made in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel. The record lists it for the 4-door, Sedan.
Two-door owners, stop here. The Altima coupe has its own two-piece pillar listing, PP27558, and this one isn't meant for it. If you can't tell from your paperwork which body you have, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with the number PP27551.
Sedan owners have a choice between this set and PP27550, which has four covers and costs less. The catalog doesn't say which pillars each one covers or give the widths, so the photographs carry the comparison. Open both galleries, count where each shape would go on your car, and decide whether the six-piece layout is the look you want. If the four-piece photos already cover it, save the money. Either way, buy just one of the two.
The sedan also has a window trim package, WP27550, noted as "Includes Upper Trim and Pillar Posts, NO Window Sills". How its pillar pieces relate to these six covers isn't explained anywhere in the listings, so before buying both, check the photos side by side or ring the number above. That avoids paying twice for the same posts.
These pieces are decoration in polished steel. They sit on the posts between the windows, with the glass, door seals and door operation left exactly as they were. Because 304 stainless doesn't depend on plating to fight corrosion, nothing peels, and regular washing is all the upkeep there is.
Attachment is by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't need a drill, and none of the factory trim is removed. The Installation tab covers temperature range and cure time.
With six posts to prepare, give yourself time. Inspect each in good daylight for wax, a chalky or faded surface, fine cracks or a lifting edge, and fix what you find, because the tape is only as good as the finish under it. Wash, dry completely, then go over every post with rubbing alcohol on a clean lint-free cloth.
Count and inspect the six covers when they arrive, comparing each with the gallery, and call if one is damaged or short. Use the listing's photos to sequence the six Altima covers. Mark every position with painter's tape before peeling a single backing, then walk around the car to compare sides. Fit a pair at a time, pressing each cover firmly from end to end and along both edges.
If any cover won't lie flat, keep its backing on and phone 877-752-3811. Pick a dry, mild, shaded day for the Altima, and a helper makes it easier to keep the covers even.
Before ordering, one quick check is worth the time: with the six-piece gallery open on your phone, walk around your sedan and find a post for each shape. If one has nowhere obvious to go, call first. Keep the car dry until the cure time has passed.

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.
