Product Description
Lexus RX L-Model 2018-2022 Eight-Piece Pillar Trim with Rear Triangle (PP18199)
PP18199 is the largest pillar set listed for the long-body Lexus RX, and the only one of the three that names a triangle: "Includes Rear Triangle piece." Eight polished stainless covers, every row tagged L-Model only, listed at $100.99.
The triangle piece
Neither the four-piece PP18197 nor the six-piece PP18198 has notes, so neither mentions a triangle. If you want that piece, this is the L-model set that says it's in the box. Singular "piece" means one triangle. Its size and position aren't given, and the other seven covers aren't named, so the photos are the reference. Compare this gallery with the six-piece one to see which outlines are unique here. If the six-piece RX set appeals too, compare photos or ring us before ordering both.
Fitment, carefully
The title names the RX350L 2018-2022 and the RX450L 2018-2020. The rows list an RX350L for 2018-2022, an RX450L for 2018-2020, and a repeat RX350L row for 2018-2020, all tagged 4-door, SUV and L-Model only. The repeated RX350L row ends sooner than the first. The years every row shares are 2018 to 2020. We've logged the repeated row. For an RX450L, or an RX350L newer than 2020, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP18199 before ordering. A standard RX isn't listed at all.
Confirming an L model
Match your RX's year and model, 350L or 450L, to one of the rows. If it doesn't clearly say RX350L or RX450L, call before buying rather than guessing from the vehicle itself.
Construction
Each cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. Nothing is plated, so the shine can't flake. The covers mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface; no drilling and no trim removal. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Fitting with a triangle in the set
When the box arrives, count eight and find the triangle using the gallery. Keep it aside, and match the other seven to the photos. Report anything bent or missing before you begin.
On a dry, mild day in the shade, wash the pillar areas and the surround where the triangle goes, rinse and dry. Wipe everything with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate, being thorough at the triangle's spot, since a small piece has little tape to grip with. Remove wax or ceramic coating where tape will sit.
Dry-fit the long covers first, liners on, and mark each with painter's tape. Then offer up the triangle, turning it until all three edges sit within its area, and mark it. Peel and press the long covers one at a time, firmly along the length and both edges. Finish with the triangle: peel, place, and press across its whole face with a soft cloth.
Check the lines from a few steps back. If the triangle or any cover won't settle, leave its liner on and call 877-752-3811. Once cured, wash with regular car soap.

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.
