Product Description
Cadillac CTS Coupe 2011-2014 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP50254)
The CTS Coupe gets its own bezel. LP50254 is cataloged for the Cadillac CTS 2-door coupe, model years 2011 through 2014, and its row carries no notes or trim limits. It's one piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA, and it frames the plate area of the coupe.
Six other parts are listed with it, and every one of them is tagged for the same 2-door coupe, so the whole page applies to one body style. That makes it easy to plan a set, as long as you read each part's own notes rather than assuming they carry over to the bezel.
The bezel and the extension trim
One part to ask about is LB50254, a two-piece License Bar Extension Trim. Our catalog doesn't explain what that set extends or exactly where its two pieces go, and we'd rather not guess. If you're thinking of pairing it with the bezel, look at both sets of product photos together and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 so we can talk through how they relate on your coupe. Mention LP50254 and LB50254.
Other coupe parts
TH50254 is a four-piece Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker at 2.25", noted Installs below the door. That location note is the rocker kit's, not the bezel's. MI50254 is a six-piece Body Molding Insert Trim Kit at 0.75", and WQ50254 a six-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim at 0.87". PP50254 is a two-piece Pillar Post Trim, and GC50254 a one-piece Gas Door Cover Trim. Each listing gives its own finish and mounting.
How the bezel goes on
No drilling is involved. The back is lined with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the bezel sits directly over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Look at the paint around the plate before you start. Chips or lifting clear coat should be fixed first, and leftover adhesive from frames or stickers removed. Wash the area, dry it, and wipe it with rubbing alcohol. Keep the liner on for a dry fit, check the spacing from behind the coupe, and mark it with painter's tape. Then peel and press firmly. The Installation tab gives the full order and temperature range.
Material in brief
Grade 304 resists corrosion without a plated layer, so the polish is the metal itself. The 26-gauge sheet stays close to the surface it's taped to.
Where to begin
If several of these parts are on your list, the bezel is the simplest of them, one piece with nothing to align against a second. Fit it first, see how it looks on your coupe, and decide on the rest from there, checking each listing as you go.
Before and after
The CTS Coupe is listed for 2011 through 2014 only. Include any plate frame in the dry fit so you know it clears the bezel. Afterward, clean with mild soap, water 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.
