Product Description
Six-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Trim for the Honda Civic Sedan, 2012-2015 (PP12215)
PP12215 fits the Honda Civic 4-door sedan from 2012 to 2015 and has six pillar post pieces in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. It's the middle of three sedan pillar sets: PP12214 has four pieces and PP12216 has eight. A fourth Civic set, the two-piece PP12212, is tagged 2-door coupe and isn't listed for the sedan.
About the crease. The four-piece PP12214 has a note, "With a crease on the side of the Pillar." This listing has no notes at all. That doesn't tell us whether these six pieces have the same shape or a different one; it only tells us the catalog doesn't say. Compare the photos of the sedan sets, and if the crease detail is part of your decision, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP12215 and we'll go through it.
Picking a size. None of the sedan pillar listings names the pillars it includes. Go by the photos: if six pieces cover the pillars you want and the eight-piece set has ones you don't need, this is a good middle choice. The data doesn't say whether the sets overlap, so buy one.
Other sedan parts on the sheet. GC12214, a 1-piece gas door cover trim. HL12214, a 2-piece head light accent trim that, per its note, adheres to the front bumper underneath the headlight. LP12214, a 1-piece license plate bezel. RB12214, a 1-piece rear bumper trim accent. RD12214, TH12214, TH12215, WP12214, WP12215, WP12216, WQ12214 and WS12214 are listed by number only, so their details aren't available here; ask us about any of them.
Mounting. The Civic's six covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillars; no drilling, and no Honda trim comes off.
Prep work. A clean, bare surface is what makes tape stick. Wash with soapy water, rinse, dry, then wipe with rubbing alcohol and let it evaporate. Remove any wax or ceramic coating where the tape will sit, and repair chipped finish first.
Sorting and dry-fitting. Set the six Civic pieces out to match the gallery. Offer each up with its backing on and check the outline against the pillar. If it doesn't follow, try it in another spot. When it does, mark both ends with painter's tape and write the location on the backing.
Pressing. One piece at a time: peel, set between the marks, press firmly along the full length, then run a fingertip down both edges. Fit three and compare them with the rest. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Your car. Honda Civic, 4-door sedan, model year 2012-2015. The six-piece Civic set is listed for 2012 to 2015.
Care. Mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid scouring pads.
Tools. Bucket, sponge, towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a marker and the photos on your phone. Open shade or a bright garage keeps glare from hiding a crooked edge.
Fitment and Specs carry the listing data for these six.
If a piece won't settle, stop before peeling, take a photo of it held in place and call us.

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.
