Product Description
PP14201: Six Polished Stainless Pillar Covers for the Acura RLX, 2014-2020
PP14201 is the six-piece pillar post set for the 2014-2020 Acura RLX sedan, and the larger of the two RLX pillar sets on the sheet. You get six covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The fitment row, Acura RLX 2014-2020 tagged 4-door and Sedan, is identical to the title.
- Count: six pieces. The other RLX set, PP14200, has four.
- Notes: none on either listing. No triangle or mirror piece is named.
- Coverage: neither listing says which pillars its covers dress. The photos show the shapes.
- Mounting: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on the existing surface; nothing drilled or removed.
- Tape: the Installation tab covers prep and conditions.
Choosing. Because the catalog only records the count, the honest way to decide is visually. Compare both photo galleries and pay attention to shapes that show up in one set but not in the other. If this six-piece set shows everything you want on your RLX's pillars, order it. If you only need what's in the four-piece set, that's a shorter job. The two RLX sets are alternatives, so ring 877-752-3811 if you're thinking of fitting both.
Year and body. The row is the 4-door sedan, 2014 through 2020, and no other years. If yours is outside that range, call 877-752-3811 with PP14201 before buying.
The metal. Polished 304 stainless doesn't depend on plating, so there's nothing to peel, and a scratch from handling won't reveal a second color. At 26 gauge the covers sit slim on the pillars.
Before the tape touches anything. Wash the pillars with car soap, rinse well, and dry. Wipe each one with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, then wait for it to evaporate. If the paint carries wax or a ceramic coating, remove it where the covers go.
Mapping six covers. The RLX gallery shows how to lay the covers out. Starting at the RLX's front posts, offer each cover up with its backing on and sight down its edges; adjust until it hugs the post evenly. Mark both ends with painter's tape and write the spot on the backing. Fit the rest, comparing each cover with the ones already on.
Pressing them down. One backing at a time: peel, set the cover in its marks, press firmly end to end and along both edges, then move on. Walk back after every second cover to compare. Temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
Conditions. Dry weather, shade or a garage, a step stool for the upper ends, and a helper if you have one. A hot panel or damp air works against the tape, while a cool, dry surface lets the alcohol flash evenly and gives each cover a fair start.
Supplies. Bucket, mild soap, soft towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape and a pencil.
Delivery. Count six covers against the photos first. If one won't sit right, keep the backing on, try another pillar, then call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811. Clean later with mild soap and a soft cloth.

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.
