Product Description
Lincoln Town Car 2003-2007 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP43680)
LP43680 has one job and one vehicle. It's a polished stainless License Plate Bezel for the Lincoln Town Car 4-door sedan, cataloged for model years 2003 through 2007, and the fitment row carries no trim exclusions. No other Town Car parts are cross-listed on its sheet.
The bezel is a single piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA and finished with a mirror polish. It outlines the plate area with a bright border at the back of the Town Car, and the photos show how it frames the plate. It's held on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling and nothing to take apart beyond removing the plate. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
When to call before you order
The listing has no dimensions and no cutout notes, so the product photos are your guide to the outline. You can order with confidence if yours is a 2003 to 2007 Town Car sedan and the area around the plate looks like the photos. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 first, with SKU LP43680, if your car's year falls outside that range, if the vehicle has been converted or modified in a way the sedan row doesn't describe, or if there's a lock, emblem or light near the plate that you can't see accounted for in the photos.
The surface matters most
Cars from these years have had time to collect wax build-up, road film and adhesive from dealer frames and stickers, and clear coat can weaken with age. The tape bonds to whatever is on top, so take the plate off and look carefully. Touch up chips, repair any clear coat that's peeling or lifting, and lift old residue with a plastic scraper. Then wash with soapy water, rinse, dry completely and wipe with rubbing alcohol until the cloth comes away clean.
Placing it
With the liner still in place, hold the bezel where it goes and stand well back. Adjust until the margins look even, then mark the outline with short strips of painter's tape. Peel the liner, set one edge on your marks, lower the rest, and press firmly all the way around. Go around once more a minute later. The Installation tab repeats the steps and lists the temperature range.
About the material
Grade 304 is a common chromium-nickel stainless used for exterior trim, and the thin 26-gauge sheet sits close to the surface once taped. The mirror polish is what gives the bezel its bright, reflective look in the photos.
With a plate frame
If you like a frame around the plate, refit it during the dry fit; you'll see at once whether it overlaps the bezel.
For upkeep, use mild soap and water and a soft towel. Scouring pads and gritty compounds scratch a mirror polish, so leave them in the garage.

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.
