Product Description
QAA 6-Piece Stainless Steel Pillar Post Trim for the 2013-2022 Acura ILX Sedan (PP13206)
The Acura ILX ran for ten model years, 2013 through 2022, and QAA catalogs this one kit for the 4-door sedan across that entire run. Kit PP13206 dresses the pillar posts with six pieces of polished stainless steel. The pieces are cut specifically for the ILX sedan, so you are not trimming a universal strip to size in your driveway.
Pillar posts are the vertical sections of the body between and beside the side windows. On a sedan they sit at eye level for anyone walking past the car, which is why a bright accent there changes the look of the whole side profile. This kit puts that accent on the posts and leaves the rest of the ILX's styling alone.
Why six pieces instead of four
QAA catalogs two pillar kits for the 2013-2022 ILX. This one, PP13206, has six pieces. Its sibling, PP13205, has four. If you want the extra coverage that the two additional pieces give you, this is the kit to choose. Compare the product photos of both listings to see which posts each one covers on your car before you order. Both kits use the same material and the same mounting method, so the difference comes down to how much of the pillar area you want finished in steel.
Material and finish
Every piece is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, and QAA polishes it to a mirror shine. That bright finish is the point of the part. It reflects the surroundings the way factory brightwork does, and it pairs with the chrome or bright accents already on the car. Because the pieces are solid stainless rather than a plated plastic, the shine is part of the metal itself.
Mounting
Each piece carries 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. The trim installs directly over the ILX's existing pillar surface, so there is nothing to remove from the car and nothing to drill. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the surface underneath. The pieces are cut to the pillar shapes, which means the job is mostly careful alignment. Check the Installation tab for a step-by-step order of work before you start.

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.
