Product Description
Dodge Caliber 2007-2012 Hatchback Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP47950)
LP47950 is the License Plate Bezel listed for the Dodge Caliber 4-door hatchback, model years 2007 through 2012. Six years, one row, no trim exclusions. It's a single piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, made in the USA.
Bezel or surround: two one-piece parts
The Caliber sheet also lists LPS47950, a one-piece License Plate Surround Trim for the same hatchback. Both are single pieces cataloged for the plate area, and the catalog doesn't explain how they differ in shape or coverage. Neither lists dimensions. We've flagged the pair, because shoppers deserve a written explanation. Until then, the way to decide is to open both listings, compare the product photos side by side, and match them against the area around your plate, including any lock, handle, emblem or lighting. If you're still unsure, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about LP47950 and LPS47950 together, so you don't buy two parts for one spot.
Tape-on install
The Caliber bezel's 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape goes directly onto the existing surface, so the car stays undrilled. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Inspect the paint around the plate and repair chips or lifting clear coat; scrape off any residue from old frames. Then wash, dry and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Then dry-fit and press it home, as described below. The Installation tab lists each step and the temperature range.
Rest of the Caliber list
RW47950 is a two-piece Rear Window Trim, and MC47950 a two-piece Mirror Cover Set. Pillar posts come in three sizes: PP47950 with four pieces, PP47951 with six and PP47952 with eight. GC47950 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. SGR47950, TH47950, TH47951, WQ47950 and WS47950 are cross-listed by number only. Check each listing for its finish.
Getting the dry fit right
Because the foam grabs as soon as it touches clean paint, the dry fit is where the job is won. Hold the bezel in place with the liner on, step well back, and look at it straight on from behind the hatchback. Shift it until the margins look even on every side. Mark both ends and the top edge with short strips of painter's tape. Only then peel the liner, and set the bezel against the marks in one motion.
The material
Grade 304 is a widely used chromium-nickel stainless for exterior trim, and at 26 gauge the sheet sits close to the surface once taped.
Starting point
Once you've chosen between the bezel and the surround, that plate-area piece is the easiest job here and shows polished stainless on the Caliber before pillar or window trim comes into it.
Before you order
Check that your records show a Caliber from 2007 to 2012. If you use a plate frame, refit it during the dry fit to see whether it overlaps the bezel.
Care
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and gritty polishes.

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.
