Product Description
Kia Optima 2006.5-2010 Stainless License Plate Bezel, 7" (LP27805)
The fitment row for LP27805 includes a build-date condition that matters more than the model year: Only fits for vehicles made after 2006 Jun. It lists the Kia Optima 4-door sedan from 2006 through 2010, and the product title calls the range 2006.5-2010, but an Optima built before June of 2006 isn't covered, even if it's registered as a 2006. Every cross-listed Optima part on this sheet carries the same condition.
Finding your build date
Your Optima's year should fall in that span. The listing calls for a build date after June 2006, so check your Optima's month and year of manufacture. If you can't find it or can't read it, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with SKU LP27805 before ordering, and have your vehicle details handy.
The catalog doesn't explain the reason for the June cutoff, and we won't speculate about it. What it does make clear is that the condition applies to the whole set of Optima parts listed here, so if one fits your car, the same build-date check covers the rest.
The part
A one-piece License Plate Bezel in 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished and made in the USA. The listing gives a width of 7", though it doesn't say which dimension that refers to, so use it alongside the product photos rather than as a stand-alone fit test. No cutouts are noted. Compare the photos with the area around your plate, including any lock, emblem or lighting.
Mounting
It attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface; there's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Repair chipped or lifting paint first, then wash, dry and degrease with rubbing alcohol. Dry-fit with the liner on and mark the position with painter's tape before you peel and press. Step-by-step instructions and the temperature range are on the Installation tab.

Starting with one piece
The bezel is the simplest job on this list, and once the build date checks out, it's a straightforward way to try polished stainless on your Optima before taking on the rocker or window trim.
Frames and upkeep
If you use a plate frame, refit it during the dry fit to make sure it doesn't overlap the bezel. Clean with mild soap and water, and dry with a soft towel.

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.
