Product Description
Eight-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Post Trim, Infiniti QX56 / QX80 / Nissan Armada (PP11055)
PP11055 is the largest of three pillar post sets on this sheet that share one set of fitment rows: eight pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The smaller sets are PP11053 with four pieces and PP11054 with six. The pillars covered aren't named, so compare the product photos of all three to see what the further pieces cover.
The rows behind the title
The title gives the 2011-2013 Infiniti QX56, the 2014-2024 QX80 and the 2017-2024 Nissan Armada. The rows, all tagged 4-door SUV, read like this:
| Infiniti QX56 | 2011-2013 |
| Infiniti QX80 | 2014-2020 |
| Infiniti QX80 | 2014-2024 |
| Nissan Armada | 2017-2020 |
| Nissan Armada | 2017-2024 |
The QX80 and Armada each have two rows with different end years, and the title follows the longer one. All rows agree on the QX80 from 2014 to 2020 and the Armada from 2017 to 2020. For anything newer, the catalog contradicts itself, so please don't order on the strength of one row. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP11055 and your vehicle details first. We've flagged the repeated rows for correction.
Information to gather
Before you call, note the make and model, the model year and the build date. A straight-on photo of the side windows helps too. With those details we can check this set against your exact vehicle instead of relying on rows that disagree.
Mounting
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. No drilling. No width or notes are listed.
Eight pieces on a big SUV
Organize before anything else. Front to back on a towel is a good order for the eight QX56 pieces, guided by the photos. Hold each to its pillar with the liner on, confirm the outline against the pillar's edges, label the liner, and mark the ends on the vehicle with painter's tape. A step stool makes it easier to see the upper ends squarely. If a piece won't line up, try it on another pillar before assuming a problem, and call us with a photo if it still doesn't fit.
Cleaning
Wash with soapy water, rinse and dry. Wipe each pillar with rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth until it comes away clean, and let it evaporate. Remove wax, sealant or coating from the contact area. Repair any chipped or peeling finish before trim covers it.
Installing
Finish the first four QX56 covers completely. Peel a liner, set the piece to its marks, press firmly from end to end, and run a fingertip down both edges. When the side is done, step back and check it. Then do the remaining pieces and compare. Install on a dry day inside the Installation tab's temperature range, preferably in shade, and wait the listed cure time before washing.
Choosing a set size
Eight pieces is the most coverage on this sheet. If the four- or six-piece photos already show the pillars you want, a smaller set is a shorter job.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Steel wool and abrasive pads will scratch the polish.

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.
