Product Description
Honda Civic Hatchback 2016-2020 Stainless License Plate Bezel (LP16214)
This is a plate-area frame for one specific Civic: the Honda Civic 4-door hatchback, model years 2016 through 2020. LP16214's fitment row lists the hatchback body and no other, so owners of other Civic body styles should call before ordering. The bezel is a single piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror shine and made in the USA.
The catalog keeps the description short. There are no dimensions, no cutout notes and no width, which leaves the product photos as the reference for the outline. Take a careful look at your own plate area, including the lock, any emblem and the lighting close by, and compare it with those photos. Questions are best answered by phone: Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811, with the SKU LP16214.
Installing the bezel
Mounting is by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling and nothing to take apart beyond the plate. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Remove the plate, clean the paint with soap and water, rinse, dry and finish with rubbing alcohol. With the liner still on, hold the bezel where it belongs and look from directly behind the car to check that it's centered and square. Mark it with painter's tape, then peel the liner and press it into place, working all the way around the frame twice. See the Installation tab for the temperature range.
A note on RD16214
The sheet also lists RD16214, a one-piece part named Rear Deck Accent. Its row carries the same 4-door hatchback tag as this bezel, and the record gives no exact position for it on the hatch or a width to go by. Since it is cataloged for the rear of the car, if you're considering it with this bezel, view both sets of photos together or call to confirm how they sit relative to each other.
The rest of the Civic hatchback list
TH16214 is a four-piece lower rocker kit. Its notes say it spans from the bottom of the door up to the specified width and has a Tapered Width from a point of 2.125". WS16214 is a six-piece window sill trim set covering the Face of sills only. RB16214 is a one-piece rear bumper trim accent. Pillar post kits come in four, six and eight pieces as PP16214, PP16215 and PP16216. Check each listing for its finish.
Order check
Your records should show a Civic hatchback built for a model year from 2016 to 2020. If you use a plate frame, refit it during the dry fit to check it doesn't overlap the bezel's edge. A minute spent on that dry fit saves peeling a taped part later, which is never as tidy as getting it right the first time.
For upkeep, mild soap, plain water and a soft towel keep polished stainless bright. Avoid steel wool and gritty polishes.

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.
