Product Description
Toyota Prius V 2012-2017 License Plate Bezel, Polished Stainless (LP12700)
LP12700 is the plate frame for the Prius V. It's a one-piece polished stainless steel License Plate Bezel listed for the Toyota Prius V 4-door hatchback, model years 2012 through 2017, six years on a single row. This listing is for the Prius V by name, so check that first.
Pairing with the two-piece license bar
The Prius V list includes LB12700, a license bar cataloged as a License Plate Bar Accent, which comes in two pieces. A bar sits above the plate; this bezel frames the plate area. If you're thinking about both, the catalog doesn't describe how they sit together on the hatch, and neither listing gives dimensions. Open both listings and compare their photos side by side with your own hatch. That's the most reliable way to see whether you want one, the other, or the pair.
Build and mount
26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish, made in the USA. Mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. It installs directly over the existing surface, with no holes. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The listing has no notes about cutouts for lights or a camera, so look at the photos for the outline. If your plate area differs, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention LP12700.
Step by step
First, unscrew the plate and keep the screws safe. Next, wash the area with soapy water, rinse, and dry. Then wipe with rubbing alcohol, corners included, until a clean cloth stays clean. After that, check for chips or old frame adhesive and remove residue. Now dry-fit the bezel with the liner on; look from behind the car for even margins. Mark its position with painter's tape. Then peel, align, and press firmly around the whole frame, then again a minute later. Finally, refit the plate and close the hatch gently for the first day. The Installation tab lists the temperature range.
The rest of the Prius V list
PP12700 and PP12701 are pillar post kits of four and six pieces. GC12700 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. RB12700 is a one-piece rear bumper trim accent. RD12700 is a one-piece part at 1.5" that the catalog names a Rear Deck Accent, for the back of this hatchback. TH12700 is a four-piece lower rocker kit on the doors only, with a width listed as 3.250-4.0625". TH12701, WP12700, WS12700, WQ12700 and SG12700 are named by number only here. Check each listing's photos for finish.
Plate frames
If you use a separate frame on the plate, refit it with the plate during the dry fit and make sure it doesn't sit on the bezel.
Paint condition
On a Prius V from these years, check the plate area for chips or sticker residue before you start, and fix anything flaking.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft towel. Skip abrasive pads and gritty polish, which dull a mirror finish.

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.
