Product Description
Honda Civic 4-Door Sedan 2012-2015: 8-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Set (PP12216)
Eight pieces is the most any Civic pillar set on this sheet offers. PP12216 is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and it fits the Honda Civic 4-door sedan, model years 2012 through 2015.
How it compares
- PP12214: four pieces, sedan, note "With a crease on the side of the Pillar".
- PP12215: six pieces, sedan, no notes.
- PP12216 (this set): eight pieces, sedan, no notes.
- PP12212: two pieces, tagged 2-door coupe, so not listed for the sedan.
None of the sedan listings names its pillars, and the catalog doesn't describe what the larger sets' further pieces cover. It also doesn't say whether this set shares the crease shape noted on PP12214; it simply doesn't mention one. The photos are how you compare. If all eight pieces in the photos match pillars you want covered, this is the complete option. If the crease detail matters to you, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP12216. Buy one sedan set rather than two, since the data doesn't say whether they overlap.
Other Civic sedan parts listed
GC12214, a 1-piece gas door cover trim; HL12214, a 2-piece head light accent trim noted as adhering to the front bumper, underneath the headlight; LP12214, a 1-piece license plate bezel; and RB12214, a 1-piece rear bumper trim accent. Eight more appear by number only: RD12214, TH12214, TH12215, WP12214, WP12215, WP12216, WQ12214 and WS12214. Their details aren't on this sheet, so we can't tell you here whether any of them includes pillar pieces. If you're thinking of ordering one, call first to avoid doubling up.
Mounting
On the 2012-2015 Civic sedan, all eight covers mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface, so nothing is drilled or removed.
Install plan
First, clean: wash, rinse, dry, then a rubbing alcohol wipe on a lint-free cloth. Clear wax and coatings from the tape area.
Second, sort: lay the eight pieces on a towel in the order the photos show.
Third, dry-fit: hold each Civic cover to its pillar with the liner on, try another pillar if one won't follow the outline, and mark the ends with painter's tape. Write each location on its liner.
Fourth, press: peel one liner at a time, set the piece between its marks and press firmly along the length and edges. Compare sides from a few steps back.
The Installation tab lists the temperature range and the cure time before the first wash.
Care
Wash with mild soap, water and a soft cloth; steel wool and abrasive pads can scratch the stainless.
Check the Civic is a 2012 to 2015. The Fitment and Specs tabs list the data.
What to gather
A bucket and sponge, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a marker and the photos open on your phone. Work in open shade or a bright garage, since glare off the glass hides small misalignments. With eight pieces, a helper who hands you the next one and checks from a distance makes the job smoother. If any piece won't line up, don't peel it; take a photo of it held in place and call us.

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.
