Toyota Avalon 2013-2018 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP13165)
LP13165 frames the rear plate area of the Toyota Avalon 4-door sedan, model years 2013 through 2018. It's one piece of polished 304 stainless steel, cataloged as License Plate Bezel, and its fitment row lists the sedan with no trim exclusions across all six years.
Specifications
Material: 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. Mounting: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed 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. Dimensions and cutouts: not listed.
Looking at your trunk
The photos are the only description of the bezel's outline. Before you order, stand behind your Avalon and look at the plate area: where the lock and emblem sit, any lights or a camera nearby, and the shape of the recess. Then compare. If anything looks different, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention LP13165.
How to install
Take the plate off. Wash and dry the area, then wipe it twice with rubbing alcohol. Check the paint for chips or the residue an old frame or sticker leaves behind. With the liner on, place the bezel and check margins from behind the car. Mark a few points with painter's tape, peel the liner, align, and press firmly around the frame. Repeat the pressure a minute later. Refit the plate, and close the trunk gently for the first day. The Installation tab gives the temperature range.
Avalon parts on the same sheet
Ten other parts are cross-listed. Pillar post kits PP13165, PP13166, PP13167 and PP13168 come in four, six, eight and ten pieces. The eight-piece Includes Rear Triangle piece and the ten-piece Includes Front Triangle piece, so they cover different areas. TH13165 is a four-piece rocker insert kit at 1.187", noted Side Molding. GC13165 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. RD13165 is a one-piece part cataloged as Rear Deck Accent. RB13165, TR13165 and WQ13165 are named by number only. Check each listing's photos for its finish.
Rear combinations
RD13165 and RB13165 both work at the back of the sedan along with this bezel. The catalog doesn't describe how they sit relative to each other, so lay the three listings' photos side by side before choosing.
Older paint
An Avalon from the early part of this range may have years of wax on the trunk. A second alcohol wipe takes care of it. Fix any flaking paint before the tape goes on.
Plate frame
If you use a separate frame on the plate, refit it during the dry fit to confirm it clears the bezel.
Why a bezel
A plate area on a sedan trunk is usually plain paint. A polished frame outlines it in one piece without changing anything else, and it's a quick install. If you like the result, the larger kits above are there to build on.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft towel. Leave abrasive pads and polishing compound off the 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.
