Product Description
Ford Expedition 2015-2017 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP55383)
Shoppers looking at Expedition trim on this catalog will run into a lot of fine print about Platinum, Limited and EL models. None of it is on this part. LP55383, a one-piece License Plate Bezel, is listed for the Ford Expedition 4-door SUV, model years 2015 through 2017, on a single row with no trim conditions at all. The restrictions you may have seen belong to the linked parts, and it's worth separating the two clearly.
Where the fine print actually sits
SG55383, a one-piece Front Grille Accent Trim at 1.25", is noted as not intended for the Limited model. Four Rocker Panel Trim upper kits, each four pieces at 5" and each noted to span from the bottom of the molding down to that width, carry their own conditions. TH55385 is described as having a top and bottom crease, Platinum only, and not fitting the EL model. TH55386 is Platinum only and, per its note, does fit the EL. TH55383 has the top and bottom crease, no cut out, and no fitment for the Platinum Edition. TH55384 fits that description but covers the EL model, and its row is tagged for the EL, not the standard Expedition. If you're planning rockers, read those listings closely; if you're only buying the bezel, none of those conditions apply to it.
The bezel
It's made from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, manufactured in the USA. Stainless holds its brightness without plating, so nothing on the face can peel. The catalog lists no dimensions; the product photos show the shape. Lay them beside your own plate area before ordering and look for anything nearby that would need clearance.
How it attaches
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds it, directly over the existing surface. There are no holes to drill. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Because the adhesive grips the paint, flaking clear coat or chips around the plate should be repaired before you begin.
On install day
Get rid of any residue from an old frame or dealer decal. Soap and water come next, followed by a full dry and a rubbing alcohol wipe to clear away wax. Hold the bezel up with the backing intact and look at the back of the SUV from a distance; when it looks square, frame it with a few bits of painter's tape. Peel, return it to those marks, and press hard around the outline. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and the full order of steps. A dry, mild day works best, and the bond appreciates some time before it sees water.
Afterward
Use mild soap and a soft cloth to keep the polish clear, and leave abrasive pads out of it. If you have a plate frame, check its fit during the dry run. LP55383 is listed for the Expedition from 2015 to 2017, so check yours against it. For anything else, phone Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and reference LP55383.

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.
