Product Description
Kia Optima 2011-2015 License Plate Bezel in Polished Stainless (LP11805)
LP11805 is a polished stainless steel frame for the rear plate area of a Kia Optima 4-door sedan, model years 2011 through 2015. One piece, cataloged as License Plate Bezel, with no trim exclusions on its fitment row.
Unlike one of the parts on the same list, this bezel isn't limited to a single trim. SG11805, a one-piece front grille accent, is marked SX Model only. That restriction belongs to the grille piece. LP11805's own row lists the Optima 4-door sedan without any trim note.

Comparing with your trunk
With no dimensions or cutout notes on the listing, the product photos are the guide to the bezel's outline. Look at your plate area, including anything near it such as a lock, lights or a camera, and compare. If you see a difference, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote LP11805 before ordering.
Install
Remove the plate and clean the area thoroughly: soap and water, rinse, dry, rubbing alcohol. Look for chips or old frame adhesive and fix them. Dry-fit the bezel with the liner on, checking from behind that the margins are even. Mark reference points with painter's tape. Peel, align, press firmly around the whole frame, and press again. Refit the plate and close the trunk gently for the first day. Temperature notes are on the Installation tab.
Rear parts to consider with it
RB11805 is a one-piece rear bumper trim accent at 1.25", and RD11805 a one-piece part cataloged as Rear Deck Accent at 1.5". Together with this bezel they cover the back of the car. The catalog doesn't describe how they sit relative to each other, so compare all three listings' photos.
Elsewhere on the Optima
GC11805 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. PB11805 is a two-piece porthole accent noted Surround Ring only, No center strip. PP11805 and PP11806 are pillar post kits of four and six pieces. TH11805, TH11806, WQ11805 and WS11805 are named by number only on this sheet. Check each listing's photos for its finish.
Plate frames and screws
If you use a separate frame on the plate itself, check during the dry fit that it doesn't sit on top of the bezel once the plate is refitted. Keep the plate screws somewhere safe while you work; they're easy to lose in the driveway.
Paint condition
An Optima from these years may have chips, worn clear coat, or sticker residue around the plate. The tape bonds only as well as the paint under it, so take care of those first. On the Optima, a second alcohol wipe is worth the minute.
Care
Mild soap and water and a soft towel. Avoid scouring pads. The Fitment and Specs tabs list the row and UPC.

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.
