Product Description
Cadillac CTS 2014-2019 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP54250)
The 2014-2019 Cadillac CTS sedan has a long list of linked parts on the QAA catalog, and LP54250 is the License Plate Bezel among them, the piece that frames the plate area. It's a single polished stainless piece for the CTS 4-door sedan, listed on one fitment row covering six model years with no exclusions. Twenty-one other parts are cross-listed with it. Most shoppers will only care about one or two of them, so here's how to sort through the list.
The one that shares the plate area
LB54250 is a two-piece License Bar Extension Trim for the same sedan. The catalog doesn't say what it extends or how its pieces sit beside the bezel. Since both carry the license plate name, look at the two sets of photos together, and if you buy both, hold them up in place before peeling any backing. A call to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 can clear up anything the photos don't.
The pillar kits with two lengths
Four Pillar Post Trim kits are described on this sheet: PP54250 with four pieces and PP54251 with six, plus PP54444 and PP54445, also four and six pieces, both noted "LONG VERSION - please refer to the accompanying image." The catalog doesn't define the difference beyond that note, so the images are the deciding factor if pillars are on your list.
Everything else
Also described: AT54250, a four-piece Body Side Molding Accent Trim at 1", and GC54250, a one-piece Gas Door Cover Trim. Fourteen more are linked by number only: RB54250, RT54250, TH54250, TH54251, TH54252, TH54253, WP54250, WP54251, WP54444, WP54445, WQ54250, WQ54251, WQ54252 and SG54250. This sheet carries none of their details, so open those listings directly to see what each one is and how it mounts.
The bezel itself
LP54250 is cut from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish, and made in the USA. With no plating, there's no surface layer to wear through. The record lists no dimensions; the photos show its outline. It mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, so you won't drill anything. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Fitting it
Healthy paint is the foundation. Repair chips or lifting clear coat near the plate, remove old adhesive, wash with soap and water, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Hold the bezel in place with the backing on, view it from behind the sedan, and mark the spot with painter's tape once it looks centered. Peel, align and press firmly around every edge. The Installation tab lists the steps and the temperature range. Work on a dry, mild day and let the bond rest before the first wash.
Verify your CTS is a 2014 to 2019, and test any plate frame during the dry fit. Clean with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. When you call 877-752-3811, mention LP54250 and any other numbers you're weighing.

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.
