Product Description
Cadillac DTS 2006-2011 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP46245)
LP46245 fits the Cadillac DTS 4-door sedan, model years 2006 through 2011, according to its single fitment row, which lists no trim exclusions. It's a one-piece License Plate Bezel in mirror-polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, that frames the plate area.
Most of this sheet is for hearses and limousines
Six rocker kits are cross-listed with this bezel, and only one of them is tagged for the standard sedan. TH46246 is a twelve-piece Lower Kit at 4.5", tagged 4-door, Sedan; its notes say Full Length and Includes coverage from the wheel well to the bumper on the front and rear. The other five are coachwork parts. TH46240, twelve pieces at 4.5", is tagged Eagle Hearse. TH46247, four pieces at 2.25", is tagged Federal EXT Hearse. TH46249, four pieces at 2.25" noted Extended, and TH46259, twelve pieces at 4.5" with a 47" extension, are both tagged Hearse. TH46244, three pieces at 2.25" with a 149" extension, is tagged Accubuilt Limousine, 149" Stretch. Those five won't suit a standard DTS sedan. The bezel's own row lists only the sedan, so if you own one of the converted vehicles, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering LP46245. Check each listing for its finish.
Outline
No dimensions or cutout notes are given for the bezel. Compare the product photos with the area around your plate, including any lock, emblem or lighting, and call with the SKU if anything doesn't match.
Mounting
The bezel installs directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so there's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Check the paint around the plate and repair chips or clear coat that's lifting; remove residue from old frames. Wash, dry and wipe with rubbing alcohol, dry-fit with the liner on, mark with painter's tape and press firmly. The Installation tab lists the temperature range.
Sedan owners: bezel, then rocker
For a standard DTS, the bezel and TH46246 are the two parts here to consider. The bezel is a single piece and a quick job; the twelve-piece full-length rocker kit is a much larger one. Fitting the bezel first shows you how polished stainless looks against your paint and how the paint takes tape before you commit to the lower body.
About the material
Grade 304 is a widely used chromium-nickel stainless for exterior trim. At 26 gauge the sheet is thin, so the taped bezel sits close to the surface, and the mirror polish gives the bright face in the photos. Being a single piece, there are no seams to align, so a clean surface and an unhurried dry fit are what decide the result.
Before you order
The bezel is listed for the DTS sedan from 2006 to 2011, so match your car to that range. If you use a plate frame, put it back on during the dry fit to check it doesn't overlap the bezel.
Care
Mild soap and water, then a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads on 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.
