Product Description
Honda Civic 2012-2015 Sedan Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ12214, 4 Pieces
For the 2012-2015 Honda Civic 4-door sedan, WQ12214 is a four-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim set in polished stainless steel, and QAA's listing describes it as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
Sedan, not coupe
This set is listed for the 4-door sedan. The Civic group also contains a part tagged for the 2-door coupe, PP12212, a two-piece pillar set. This wheel well set has no coupe tag, so if you own a coupe, call 877-752-3811 before ordering.
No width listed
The record gives four pieces with black rubber gasket edging but no width. Use the photos to judge the band of stainless around each arch.
Material
The four Civic arch strips are formed in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and placed over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Honda.
Prep at the arches
Wash and dry each wheel opening, then check the band where the trim will sit. Old adhesive, wax and loose paint come off first. Each strip is wiped with a wax-and-grease remover and isopropyl alcohol just before its piece.
Fitting
Match each piece to its corner from the photos and note it on the liner. Hold it on with the liner attached and painter's tape at its ends; the gasket should follow the opening evenly. Then peel a little liner at a time while pressing the piece around the curve. Compare each opening with the photos before the next.
The Civic sedan group
This group's window package notes give exact piece splits, which is useful if you're choosing window trim too. WP12214 (20 pieces) is "8 piece Upper Trim, 8 piece Pillar Posts and 4 piece Window Sills - FULL Package", WP12215 (16) is the upper trim and pillar posts without sills, and WP12216 (8) is upper trim only. Pillar sets PP12214 (4, "With a crease on the side of the Pillar"), PP12215 (6) and PP12216 (8) are listed too. Body pieces include a gas door cover, a two-piece headlight accent that adheres under the headlight, a license plate bezel, a rear bumper accent, a rear deck accent at 1.5", a two-piece On the rocker strip at 1.25" with trim crease, and a four-piece lower rocker kit at 2" on the doors only.
Care
Wait a day before washing; mild soap and a soft cloth after that, with no pressure washer aimed at the gasket. Call 877-752-3811 if a piece won't follow its opening as the photos show.
On arrival
Count the four pieces and match each to a corner with the photos before cleaning. Choose a dry, mild day, and keep the pieces out of direct sun until each goes on. If you're fitting a rocker kit too, do it before the arches so you can check how they meet.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
