Two checks come before any fitting. First, the years: this listing covers the TL from 2009-2014 only. Pillar sets for earlier TL years appear elsewhere in the catalog and aren't linked here. Your records settles it, and it should also show the four-door sedan body.
Second, the count. PP29295 offers four covers for the same TL. Neither listing names its pillars or gives widths, so put the two galleries side by side and follow each outline onto your car. If these six shapes are the posts you'd like polished, order here; if the four match your plan, PP29295 is the page.

The covers are trim for the eye only, a thin bright skin for each post between the side windows. The Acura's doors, glass and seals keep working untouched, and grade 304 resists corrosion without plating.
All six mount onto the TL's posts with the foam tape, so there are no holes to drill and no clips to release. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
With six posts to prepare, take them one at a time. Draw a fingertip down each and look for powdery chalk, a web of hairline cracks, an edge lifting off or a greasy film of wax. Put each problem right, since the tape bonds to that layer. Wash, rinse, let dry, and finish every post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a clean cloth stays clean.
For the job itself, have car soap with a bucket of water, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a generous stack of lint-free cloths, a roll of painter's tape and a pencil within reach. Spread a clean towel on the trunk lid for the six covers so they stay in fitting order, and ask a second person to stand a few steps off the TL's flank and tell you whether the covers line up.
A dry, calm day in shade is ideal. Unpack the six, match each to its photo, and call about any that are damaged or short. Set the six on the towel as the photos show. Backings on, hold each cover in place, move it until the gaps are equal, and mark round it in painter's tape, finishing all six marks before peeling. Then go two at a time: peel, lay the cover in its marks, and press firmly from end to end and along both edges.
A cover that won't lie flat should keep its backing while you ring 877-752-3811; we can talk through the shape against your post before anything is pressed. After the cure time listed on the Installation tab, it washes with car soap like the paint around it and dries with a soft towel.

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.
