Product Description
Chevy Spark 2016-2022 Six-Piece Pillar Trim with Rear Handle Pull Accents (PP56111)
PP56111 is the more complete of QAA's two pillar kits for the 2016-2022 Chevrolet Spark. It has six pieces, and QAA's catalog notes something the smaller kit does not offer: it includes rear handle trim on the pulls only, with no surround. In other words, along with the pillar posts, you get steel accents for the pulls on the rear door handles.
What "pulls only, no surround" means
Door handles have two parts you can see: the pull you grab and the recessed area or surround around it. QAA specifies that this kit trims the pulls only. The surround is not covered. We mention it because shoppers sometimes expect a full handle cover, and this kit is not that. The listing photos show exactly what the handle pieces look like.
Compared with PP56110
The four-piece PP56110 covers the pillar posts without the handle pieces. If you only want the pillars, it is the simpler choice. If you want the rear handles to match the pillars in polished steel, this six-piece set does both in one order and keeps the finish consistent.
About pillar posts on the Spark
Pillars are the upright sections of the body between and next to the side windows. On a small 4-door car like the Spark, they sit right where people look. Bright steel there gives the side of the car a sharper, more defined appearance.
Material and build
QAA produces these pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polishes them to a mirror shine. Because the pieces are solid stainless, the finish does not depend on a plated layer. The pillar pieces and the handle pieces share the same material, so they match.
Installing it
Every piece uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface. No disassembly. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle's surface. Handle pulls are small, so clean them carefully and dry them well before pressing on the trim. The Installation tab has general steps that apply to every piece in the kit.
Fitment check
QAA lists PP56111 for the 4-door Chevrolet Spark subcompact, 2016 to 2022. That includes model years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The Fitment tab shows the application as cataloged. Before ordering, confirm your Spark is the 4-door body and falls in that range.
The Specs tab lists UPC 691821668076 and the six-piece count. If you have a question about the handle pieces or the fit on your car, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and we will help you confirm it before you buy.
Why trim the pulls at all? The door handles are the part of the side you touch every day, and they sit at the same height as the pillar posts. Matching them in polished steel ties the two areas together visually. Since this set handles both in one box, the pillar pieces and the pull pieces come from the same material and finish, and you only do the surface prep once. It is a tidy way to get a coordinated look on a small car.

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.
