Product Description
Chevrolet Equinox 2010-2017 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP50160)
Here's the short version: LP50160 is one polished stainless License Plate Bezel for the Chevrolet Equinox 4-door SUV, model years 2010 through 2017. It's made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish, and it frames the plate area. The catalog row covers all eight model years without a trim tag or note.
The longer version involves the seven other Equinox parts on this page, several of which carry notes that are easy to read as if they applied to the bezel. They don't, and it's worth separating them out.
Notes that belong to other parts
TH50160 is a four-piece Rocker Panel Trim, Insert Kit at 1.5". Its notes read On the Cladding, adh. Perimeter, and Side Molding. Those describe where that kit goes, not the bezel. MI50160, a four-piece Body Molding Insert Trim Kit, is listed with a width of 0.5-1.5", a range rather than a single figure, so its photos are the place to judge its shape.
AT50160 is a twelve-piece Body Side Molding Accent Trim at 1". RD50160 is a one-piece rear deck accent at 2.125", listed for the Equinox SUV; look at its photos to see where it is meant to sit at the rear. The remaining parts are PP50160 and PP50161, pillar post kits in four and six pieces, and WQ50160, a six-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim. Finish and mounting for each are on their own listings.
Will the bezel suit my Equinox?
If it's a 2010 to 2017 Equinox, the catalog says yes. What the catalog can't show is the exact surroundings of your plate, so set the product photos beside your own SUV and check anything nearby. Questions go to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811; mention SKU LP50160.
What does installation involve?
Tape and a little patience. The bezel mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes directly over the existing surface, no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Repair damaged paint around the plate first, remove old adhesive, then wash, dry and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Do a dry fit with the liner on, mark the spot with painter's tape, and press it on firmly. The Installation tab covers the order and the temperature range.
Why stainless?
Grade 304 is a chromium-nickel stainless that resists rust without plating, so there's no coating to flake or wear through. At 26 gauge it stays close to the surface.
Should I start with the bezel?
If you're planning more than one piece, it's a good place to begin. It's a single part, it doesn't depend on any other item on the list, and once it's on you'll have a clear sense of how the polished finish looks on your paint. You can then decide on the rest one listing at a time, checking each part's photos and notes as you go.
Anything else?
Bring your plate frame to the dry fit, since it should clear the bezel's edge. Is your Equinox a 2010 to 2017? That's what the listing covers. Clean it with mild soap and 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.
