Product Description
PP25552: Eight Stainless Pillar Covers for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima Sedan
PP25552 is the eight-piece pillar set for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima 4-door sedan: eight polished stainless covers, made in the USA, priced at $84.49. Its part number sits apart from the other Altima pillar sets for these years, but it's linked to them, PP22550 with four covers and PP22551 with six, so all three are alternatives for the same car.
Choosing eight
None of the three Altima pillar listings names its pillars or gives a width or note. The photos are what separate them. Open this gallery, try to place each of the eight shapes on your Altima, and then see how the smaller sets compare. If you want all eight of these areas in polished steel, this is your set. If not, one of the others is a shorter job. Look through the eight-piece Altima gallery against any other set before ordering a second. Quality Automotive Trims can help you decide on 877-752-3811; quote PP25552.
Fitment
Nissan Altima, 2002-2006, 4-door, Sedan. Five model years. Your records confirm yours; if your Altima falls outside that range, this set isn't listed for it.
Other linked listings
WP22550 and WP22551 are linked by number only, alongside separate Altima products such as DH22550 (Door Handle Accent Trim), GC22550 (Gas Door Cover Trim), LP22550 (License Plate Bezel), RD22550 (Rear Deck Accent) and TH25550 (Rocker Panel Trim). Check each page for what it is and how it fits before ordering it with this set.
The steel
26 gauge 304 stainless, polished, with no plating to flake. It resists corrosion, and soapy water keeps it bright. The covers are cosmetic; they dress the posts between the side windows and leave the structure alone.
The tape and the surface
Each cover bonds with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, with no drilling and no trim removal. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time. The bond depends on the finish under it, so inspect every post. On a sedan of this age, repair chalky, cracked or lifting areas and strip old wax. Then wash, dry and wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean.
Fitting eight
With eight covers, organize first. Unpack, compare each with the photos and call if one is bent or missing. Compare them with the photos and pencil each position on its backing. On a dry, still day in the shade, offer every cover up with its backing on and trace around it with painter's tape before peeling any. Then fit them one at a time: peel, set into the outline, and press hard along the length and both edges. Pause after every second Altima cover to check from a distance. A helper makes the marking easier.
Should an Altima cover refuse to lie flat, keep its backing on and ring 877-752-3811. Once cured, wash the Nissan's covers with car soap and towel them dry.
Time
Set aside a longer session for the Altima: marking eight positions takes most of it, and the pressing goes quickly.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 8 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.
