Product Description
Ford Mustang 2005-2008 Stainless License Plate Bezel, 7" (LP45351)
This is the plate-area bezel for the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 Ford Mustang. LP45351's fitment row tags it 2-door, Coupe and Convertible, so either body style from those four model years is on the listing, with no trim exclusions. It's a single piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA.
The 7" measurement
The listing includes one dimension, 7" Width, but doesn't say what it measures. Is it the full span of the frame, the height, or the width of one part of it? The catalog doesn't tell us, so we've flagged it. Treat the figure as a reference and rely on the product photos for the shape. Compare them with the area around your Mustang's plate, including any lock, emblem or lighting, and if you want the 7" explained before you order, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about LP45351.
Stand-alone order
No other Mustang parts are cross-listed on this sheet, so the bezel is ordered on its own. More stainless for a Mustang of your year may exist elsewhere in QAA's range, so call and ask.
Attachment
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds the bezel, and it installs directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling and nothing to remove beyond the plate. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Getting the paint ready
Every car on this row was built in 2008 or earlier, so look closely at the paint before you begin. Chips should be touched up and lifting clear coat repaired; the tape bonds to the top layer, and if that layer is letting go, the bezel will too. Lift off old adhesive from frames or stickers with a plastic scraper, then wash, rinse, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol.
Dry fit, mark, press
Hold the bezel in position with the liner on and stand well back. When it looks centered with even margins, run a few short strips of painter's tape along the edges. If you use a plate frame, refit it now to see whether it overlaps. Peel the liner, set the bezel against the tape marks, and press firmly around its whole outline. A second pass a minute later helps the foam seat. Check the Installation tab for the temperature range.
Why one piece is easy
There are no joints between pieces to keep even and nothing to sort out. Once the surface is clean, the only real decision is placement, which is why the dry fit gets most of the attention. Take your time there and the rest goes quickly. If you're new to tape-on trim, a single bezel is a forgiving place to start.
Confirming the car
Coupe or convertible, your records should show a Mustang from 2005 to 2008.
Looking after it
Rinse grit off first, wash with mild soap and water, and dry with a soft towel. Abrasive pads will scratch the mirror finish.

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.
