Product Description
2016-2022 Toyota Prius Hatchback License Plate Bezel in Mirror-Polished Stainless (LP16135)
LP16135 gives the Toyota Prius 4-door hatchback a polished frame around the rear plate area. The fitment row runs from 2016 through 2022, seven model years, and lists the hatchback body only. It is one piece, cut from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished and made in the USA.
The listing comes with very little spec data: no dimensions, no width, and no notes on cutouts. So the honest advice is to use the product photos as your template. Compare the outline with the plate area on your Prius, looking carefully at the lock, emblem and lighting near the plate, and if anything doesn't line up, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with SKU LP16135 in hand.
Tape, not tools
The bezel mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface. You won't drill anything. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The bond depends on clean paint, so pull the plate, wash the area with soapy water, rinse and let it dry before wiping it down with rubbing alcohol. Inspect the paint for chips or lifting clear coat, since the tape can only grip a sound surface. Then hold the bezel in position with its liner on, step back to check that the margins are even, and tape off the position with a few pieces of painter's tape. Peel, set, and press firmly around the frame, then repeat. The Installation tab notes the temperature range to work in.
A ladder of pillar kits
What stands out on this Prius sheet is the choice of pillar post trim. There are five kits: PP16135 with four pieces, PP16136 with six, PP16137 with eight, PP16138 with ten and PP16139 with twelve. The catalog doesn't explain which pillars each count covers on this listing, so compare the photos on each kit to see what's included. Alongside them, AT16135 is a four-piece body side molding accent at 1", and GC16135 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. WS16135, WQ16135, RI16135 and RB16135 are cross-listed by number only. Check each listing for its finish.
Picking an order of work
Because the bezel is a single part, it's a tidy job to do on its own, and it shows you how polished stainless looks on your paint at the back of the car. If you like it, the pillar ladder above lets you decide how far to go along the sides. Living with one piece for a week or two is a cheap way to answer that question before buying a larger kit.
Small things to check
Check that the Prius's model year is between 2016 and 2022. If a plate frame is part of your setup, put it on during the dry fit to confirm it doesn't cover the bezel. Rinse road grime off with mild soap and water and dry with a soft cloth. Prius prep steps are on the Installation tab.

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.
