Product Description
Prius C 2012-2019 Polished Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP12705)
The rear plate is one of the first things anyone sees from behind. LP12705 frames that plate area on the Toyota Prius C 4-door hatchback, model years 2012 through 2019, with a single piece of polished stainless steel. Eight model years, one row, no exclusions.
The listing is specific to the Prius C. Your Prius C's year should fall in that range.
Material, mount, and what's not listed
The bezel is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished, made in the USA. It's held on by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface, so nothing is drilled. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The catalog lists no dimensions and no notes about openings. Look at the product photos for its outline, and if your plate area differs from them, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give the part number LP12705.
Bezel plus bar
LB12705, a one-piece license bar, is also listed for the Prius C. It's cataloged as License Bar, Above plate accent Trim, so it runs above the plate, while this bezel frames the plate area. You can use either on its own. If you want both, look at the two listings' photos together to see how the pieces relate on the hatch; the catalog doesn't describe it.
Putting it on
Remove the plate. Give the area a proper wash, rinse, and dry, then two passes of rubbing alcohol. Look closely for chips, worn clear coat and leftover frame adhesive, and deal with any you find. With the liner on, set the bezel in place and look from a few steps back: margins should be even on every side. Painter's tape marks hold the position. Peel, line up and press firmly around the frame. Go around again after a minute. Refit the plate and treat the hatch gently for the first day. Temperature guidance is on the Installation tab.
Other Prius C parts
Pillar post kits come in five sizes: PP12705, PP12706, PP12707, PP12708 and PP12709, at four, six, eight, ten and twelve pieces. TH12705 is a four-piece lower rocker kit at 1.5" on the doors only. GC12705 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. WS12705, RD12705 and RB12705 are named by number only on this sheet. Check each listing's photos for finish.
If you use a plate frame
Refit the plate and any separate frame during the dry fit, and confirm the frame doesn't sit on top of the bezel.
Why the bezel
It's one part in one spot, with nothing to coordinate. That makes it a straightforward way to see how polished stainless looks against your paint before deciding on pillar posts or rocker trim. Hold it in place in daylight with the liner on and judge it in person.
Upkeep
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft cloth. Abrasives will dull the polish, so keep scouring pads and gritty compounds away from it.

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.
