Product Description
Lincoln MKZ 2006-2011 and Zephyr 2006 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP46630)
The title gives the Lincoln MKZ, 2006 to 2011, and the Lincoln Zephyr for 2006, matching the two fitment rows for LP46630. The Zephyr row covers a single model year, while the MKZ row runs six, so a Zephyr owner has one year to match. Both rows are tagged 4-door, Sedan with no trim exclusions. If you have a 2006 Zephyr, the rows include it; if you want to be certain, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with SKU LP46630.
The bezel
One piece, made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. It frames the plate area. There are no dimensions or cutout notes on the listing, and nothing in the catalog describes any difference in fit between the MKZ and the Zephyr. Compare the product photos with the area around your plate, including any lock, emblem or lighting, before you order.
Attaching it
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds it, and it installs directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
The work, start to finish
Remove the plate and look at the paint around it in daylight. On a car from 2006 to 2011, you may find old adhesive from a dealer frame or sticker, and sometimes chips; clean up the adhesive with a plastic scraper and touch up or repair any damaged paint so the tape has a sound surface. Wash, rinse and dry, then wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh cloth stays clean.
Next, hold the bezel in place with the liner on. Look from directly behind the car and shift it until the margins are even, then mark its position with a few strips of painter's tape. If a plate frame is part of your setup, put it on at this stage to check it won't overlap. When it all looks right, peel the liner, line up with the marks and press firmly around the frame, then press once more. The Installation tab lists the temperature range for the tape.
Which row is yours?
This one is for the MKZ built 2006 through 2011. A Zephyr should show 2006. Either way, the body should be the 4-door sedan.
Why 304 stainless
Grade 304 is a widely used chromium-nickel stainless for exterior trim. The thin 26-gauge sheet lets the taped bezel sit close to the surface, and the mirror polish is the reflective finish shown in the photos. As a single piece, it has no seams or joints, so the finished look comes down to clean paint and careful centering.
No companion parts
Nothing else is cross-listed on this sheet. If you're looking for more trim, call and ask what's available for your car.
Upkeep
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel. Avoid scouring pads and gritty compounds, which scratch the mirror polish.

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.
