Product Description
Ford Explorer 2002-2007 Stainless License Plate Bezel, 8" (LP44330)
LP44330 is a one-piece polished stainless License Plate Bezel for the Ford Explorer 4-door SUV, cataloged for model years 2002 through 2007. Six years on one row, no trim exclusions, and no companion parts cross-listed on its sheet. It's made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished, and the listing gives a single measurement: 8" Width.
A word on that 8"
The catalog doesn't say which dimension the 8" describes. It could be the bezel's overall span or some other part of the frame, so we've asked for it to be verified. Until then, please don't use 8" alone to decide whether it fits. The product photos show the actual outline. Compare them with the area around your Explorer's plate, including any lock, handle, emblem or lighting, and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with SKU LP44330 if you want the measurement confirmed.
Mounting
The bezel is held with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface, so you won't drill. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Preparing a 2002-2007 surface
On an SUV from these years, the paint around the plate decides how well the tape holds. Remove the plate and inspect it in daylight. Chips need touching up. Clear coat that's lifting or flaking needs repair, not cover. Residue from old frames or dealer stickers should come off with a plastic scraper. Then wash with soapy water, rinse, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh cloth shows nothing.
Dry fit and press
Hold the bezel in place with the liner still on. Step back and check that it's level and centered, then mark the outline with a few short strips of painter's tape. Refit your plate frame at this stage if you use one, to see whether it overlaps the bezel. Then peel the liner, set the bezel on the marks and press firmly around the frame, twice. The Installation tab lists the temperature range for the tape.
Why stainless, and why thin
It's cut from 26-gauge 304 stainless; that chromium-nickel grade is widely used for exterior trim, and the thin sheet lets the bezel sit close once taped. The mirror polish gives the reflective finish you see in the photos. As a single piece, there are no seams to align, so the result depends almost entirely on clean paint and a careful dry fit.
Nothing else on the sheet
No other Explorer parts are cross-listed on this listing, so the bezel is a stand-alone order. If you're looking for more trim for your Explorer, call and ask what's available.
Confirm the year
Check that your records list an Explorer from 2002 to 2007. Anything outside that range isn't on this row.
Upkeep
Wash the polished face with mild soap and water and dry it with a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads. Give LP44330 as the part number when you ring.

Installation tips: License Plate Bezel
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
