Product Description
Kia Soul 2010-2013 Porthole Accent Trim, Center Strip, 2-Piece Stainless (PB10830)
PB10830 is a pair of polished stainless porthole accent pieces for the 2010-2013 Kia Soul 4-door hatchback. The one note on the listing reads "Center Strip," and that short phrase is the key to the part. It tells you these pieces are center strips rather than surround rings; the photos show exactly where they sit. The record doesn't describe the shape or exact placement beyond that, so the product photos are the place to see what you're getting and where it sits.
Fitment

Fitting two small pieces
Small strips are quick to install but easy to set off-center, and an off-center strip is the first thing you notice. Clean the spot with soapy water, dry it, and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Hold each piece in place with its liner still on and compare it with the photos. Center it by eye, then measure from a fixed edge at each end so it's truly centered. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel, place, and press firmly from one end to the other. Do the second piece the same way, then compare the two from a few steps back. If one looks off, lift it right away and reset it; foam tape is far more forgiving in the first minute than after a firm press. The Installation tab gives the temperature range.
Plenty more for this Soul
The sheet for this Soul is long. Pillar post trim comes in four counts: PP10830 (4 pieces), PP10831 (6), PP10832 (8) and PP10833 (10). WP10831 is a 16-piece window trim package that includes upper trim and pillar posts but no window sills. GC10830 is a 1-piece gas door cover trim. MI10830 is a 4-piece body molding insert kit noted as a tapered width; its width figures are garbled in the record, so check that listing's photos or call. Seven more parts are listed by number only.
Starting small
If you're planning several pieces from this list, a two-piece accent like this is a good first job. It lets you get a feel for surface prep, dry fitting and foam tape before you take on a larger kit. Work in the same order each time: clean, dry-fit, mark, peel, press. That rhythm carries straight over to pillar posts or window trim.
Care: mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Avoid steel wool and abrasive pads on the polish.

Installation tips: Porthole Accent Trim
- Unpack all 2 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.
