Product Description
Lincoln MKS 2009-2012 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP49625)
For the Lincoln MKS 4-door sedan, model years 2009 through 2012, LP49625 is a one-piece License Plate Bezel in polished stainless steel. It's made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless, finished to a mirror shine, and it frames the plate area. Its own listing has no notes or trim limits, so any MKS sedan in those years matches the catalog row.
The rest of this page is mostly about the parts listed alongside it, because two of them look almost identical by name and are easy to mix up.
Two wheel well kits, two different jobs
WQ49625 and WQ49626 are both eight-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim kits for the same MKS sedan. The difference is in their notes. WQ49625 is marked Cut to fit with Rocker kit sold separately, so its note ties it to a rocker kit that isn't included. WQ49626 is marked Full Length. Those notes don't involve the bezel, but if wheel well trim is on your list, pick the kit that suits your plans for the MKS rockers. When in doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention LP49625 along with the kit numbers.
The deck trim note
RD49625 is a one-piece Rear Deck Accent at 3.5", noted With Trim Crease. That crease note belongs to the deck trim. The bezel's own listing doesn't mention a crease, so look at its photos for its shape. GC49625 is a one-piece Gas Door Cover Trim for the same sedan. Check each listing on its own for finish and mounting.
Installing the bezel
The bezel goes on 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. Look over the paint around the plate first and repair anything chipped or lifting. Remove leftover adhesive, wash and dry, and wipe down with rubbing alcohol. The Installation tab gives the order of steps and the temperature range for the tape.
Dry-fit it with the liner on, stand behind the sedan, and adjust until the margins look even. A few strips of painter's tape will hold the position while you peel. Set it in place and press firmly all the way around.
Starting with the bezel
Of everything on this page, the bezel is the quickest piece to install, and it's a one-piece job you can finish in a single session with nothing more than cleaning supplies and painter's tape. If you plan several pieces, fit the bezel first and use it as a reference for how the polish looks on your MKS.
Why polished 304
This grade of stainless resists rust without a coating, so the shine comes from the metal itself. The thin 26-gauge sheet lets it sit close to the surface.
Before ordering
It covers MKS model years 2009 to 2012, so confirm yours is in that run. If you use a plate frame, try it during the dry fit so you know it clears the bezel. Afterward, mild soap, water and a soft cloth keep it bright.

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.
