Product Description
Acura MDX 2007-2013 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP27297)
LP27297 is a one-piece polished stainless License Plate Bezel for the Acura MDX 4-door SUV. Its fitment row covers seven model years, 2007 through 2013, with no trim exclusions, so one part covers every MDX year on the row. The bezel is cut from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA and finished with a mirror polish.
Over seven years, check your own vehicle
A seven-year row is a good reason to compare the part with your own MDX rather than assume. The catalog doesn't list dimensions or any cutouts for the bezel, so look at the outline in the product photos and hold it up, mentally, against the area around your plate: any lock, emblem, handle or lighting close to it. If something doesn't match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give them LP27297 and your model year.
Taping it on
Mounting is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface, so there's nothing to drill. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Look over the paint first and fix chips or lifting clear coat, because the tape bonds to the top layer. Remove the plate, clean the area with soap and water, rinse and dry, then wipe with rubbing alcohol until a clean cloth stays clean. Dry-fit the bezel with the liner on and look at it square from behind; adjust until the margins are even and mark the spot with painter's tape. Peel, place on the marks and press firmly around the frame, then press again. The Installation tab lists the temperature range.
Two rear pieces on the MDX sheet
Besides this bezel, two other parts are cataloged for the rear. TP27297 is a two-piece Trunk Hatch Accent Trim, and RD27297 is a one-piece part named Rear Deck Accent. Neither has a width on file. If you're considering one of them with the bezel, open the photos side by side so you can see how they'd sit together, or call to ask.
Full package or upper trim only
The two window packages sit at opposite ends. WP27297 has eighteen pieces and Includes Upper Trim, Pillar Posts and Window Sills, the FULL Package. WP27298 has six pieces and Includes Upper Trim only, NO Pillar Posts, NO window sills. PP27297 and PP27298 are separate pillar post kits with four and six pieces, a better match for the upper-only package than for the full one. MI27297 is a four-piece body molding insert kit. WQ27297 and WS27297 are cross-listed by number only. Check each listing for its finish.
With an eighteen-piece package on the list, the single bezel is the gentle way in: one part, one location, and a chance to see polished stainless on your MDX before you commit to more.
Before you order
Your MDX's year needs to be inside that range. If you use a frame on the plate, refit it during the dry fit to make sure it doesn't overlap the bezel. Clean the polished stainless with mild soap, water and a soft towel, never abrasive pads.

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.
