Product Description
PP11806 Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim, Kia Optima 4-Door Sedan 2011-2015
Six pillar post covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the 2011-2015 Kia Optima 4-door sedan. PP11806 is the larger of the Optima's two pillar sets; PP11805 is the four-piece version.
Choosing between them. All the catalog says is four versus six. There are no notes and no list of pillars on either listing. The photos show the shapes, so put both sets side by side and compare them with your car. The six-piece set suits you if its photos show pillars the smaller set doesn't. We can't confirm from the data whether the four pieces are part of the six, so we'd suggest buying one set only.
Planning a full Optima makeover. If the pillars are one part of a bigger plan, here's what this sheet lists for the same sedan:
- GC11805, a 1-piece gas door cover trim.
- LP11805, a 1-piece license plate bezel.
- RB11805, a 1-piece rear bumper trim accent listed at 1.25.
- RD11805, a 1-piece rear deck accent listed at 1.5.
- PB11805, a 2-piece porthole accent, surround ring only with no center strip.
- SG11805, a 1-piece front grille accent tagged SX Model only. That tag applies to the grille piece, not to this pillar set.
- By number only: TH11805, TH11806, WQ11805 and WS11805. Their details aren't on this sheet.
Fit check. Kia Optima, 4-door sedan, 2011-2015. No trim restriction on this row. The six-piece Optima set covers 2011 to 2015.
Mounting. Each Optima cover goes onto the existing pillar surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape; nothing is drilled or removed.
Prep. Wash, rinse and dry the pillars, then wipe them with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Take off wax and sealant where the tape will sit. Repair any lifting finish first.
Fitting six pieces. On a towel, sort the six Optima covers by the photos. Offer each up with the liner on. When it fits, mark both ends with painter's tape and write the location on the liner. If a piece won't settle, compare it with the photos again. Peel one at a time and press firmly along the full length, then down both edges. Compare sides before you're done. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Care. Use mild soap with a soft cloth and stay away from abrasive pads.

One area at a time. If several of these parts are going on, give each its own session with fresh cleaning and a dry day. Pillars are a good first job: flat, easy to reach, and a quick way to get a feel for how the tape behaves before you move on to anything else.
Light. Glare from glass and polished steel hides small misalignments. Open shade or a bright garage is best for judging gaps.
Tools. Bucket, sponge, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a marker and the product photos.

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.
