Installing vinyl pillar trim can dramatically transform the appearance of your vehicle, especially when it's tailored for a specific vehicle like Acura ILX. The process begins by carefully selecting the appropriate vinyl pillar trim that matches the size and shape of the pillar posts on your vehicle. Whether you choose precut or wrap, the first step is to thoroughly clean the surface of the pillar posts using a mild detergent and water to remove any dirt or grease. Taking care of the installed vinyl by following the maintenance guidelines will prolong its life and maintain its appearance. Considering the specific shape and contours of your vehicle's pillars, especially if it's a Acura ILX, is key to a successful installation. Next, gather the necessary tools for the installation, including a squeegee, heat gun, and a sharp knife or blade.

Once you are done, you can check out and the items will be shipped to you as soon as possible.


What You Need

  • Masking Tape
  • Squeegee With a Buffer
  • Rapid Prep Cleaner


Prep and Clean

Once your kit arrives, the first thing you should do is organize your tools and materials for easy access. Before you start applying the pillar trim, you need to clean the pillar of the Acura ILX. Spray Rapid Prep Cleaner and wipe down the pillar and the area outside with the Rapid Prep Cleaner and a towel. Thoroughly clean and wipe away any dirt. Spray the cleaner again and wipe down again to ensure it is clean.

If your vehicle has some wear and tear or some scratches, then apply a coating of 3m Primer 94 to the surface of the pillars. Apply it evenly and wait five minutes so it dries up.



How Not to Install

For the best result, do not remove the liner. It is there to help keep the pillar trim nice and clean. You don't want to ruin the adhesive by letting your fingers come in contact with the adhesive side or you won't be able to perfectly align since it may get damaged. When using the squeegee, make sure to use the buffer side so the pillar trim doesn't get scratched.


Use Masking Tape and Align Properly

Start off by placing 8 small pieces of masking tape next to you so you can grab them easily when you need them. Next, grab the film and align in to pillar with the adhesive still on. Move your hand to the middle of the film and grab two pieces of masking tape and attach them to the bottom so that it stays in place. Make sure the film is properly aligned. Use two pieces of masking tape and place them at the top, about one inch from the very top.



Fold Liner and Use Squeegee

Pull the film back by holding the masking tape and never touching the film itself. Remove the adhesive tape one third of the way, fold it and reapply the masking tape on the top. Use the squeegee and lock the top of the film in place. Remove the masking tape from the top by pulling it low, flat and away from the film.



Remove Liner and Seal the Edges

Now you can remove the liner. Grab the masking tape that is on the bottom and lift the film and remove it slowly. Make sure the film is perfectly aligned when you do this. Once you have reached the bottom, use the squeegee starting from the top and going to the bottom. Hold the squeegee on the bottom part of the film as you remove the tap. Make sure the edges are sealed by running your finger on the edges of the film.



Other Methods to Install Pillar Trims

There are various ways to install pillar trims and different people will like different methods. That is why we included other ways to install them. You can cut the liner with a knife or a scissor instead of folding it in the beginning. This method helps the film align closer with the pillar than the folding method. When cutting the liner, hold the film to the side, which will give you a better angle to remove the liner.

Another method that works well is by taping the top and the bottom of the film to the pillar. Add a piece of tape to the middle. Now, remove the bottom tape and place it on the top. Remove the liner from the bottom towards the middle and cut it off. Now, squeegee the bottom section on. Remove the tap from the top and remove the liner. Squeegee the top part starting from the middle.
