Product Description
Nissan Maxima 2004-2008 Stainless License Plate Surround, 2 Pieces (LPS24540)
LPS24540 is a two-piece License Plate Surround Trim for the Nissan Maxima 4-door sedan, model years 2004 through 2008. That's five years on one row, with no exclusions. The piece count is the first thing that sets it apart, because the catalog also lists LP24540, a one-piece License Plate Bezel, for the very same Maxima.
So what's the difference between a two-piece surround and a one-piece bezel for the same sedan? The catalog doesn't explain it. Neither record gives dimensions or says what each surround piece covers. The safe approach is to put the photos of both side by side and see which matches the look you want. If they leave you unsure, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention both numbers. We'd rather answer that question before an order than after.
Because there are two pieces, staging matters more than it does with a single bezel. The listing doesn't describe how the pieces relate to each other, so hold both in place with their liners on before peeling either, and check that they look balanced from behind the car. Mark each with painter's tape once you're happy.
Both pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA. There's no plating, so the brightness is the metal itself. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, without drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
A Maxima from these years may have some wear around the plate. Since the tape bonds to the paint, look for chips or lifting clear coat and repair them first. Then remove old adhesive, wash with soap and water, dry completely and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Peel one piece at a time, set it to its marks and press firmly along every edge before moving on to the other. The Installation tab lists the steps and the temperature range.
The Maxima has a long list of linked parts. Described on this sheet: GC24540, a one-piece Gas Door Cover Trim; MC24540, a two-piece Mirror Cover Set; PP24540 and PP24541, Pillar Post Trim kits with four and six pieces; RD24540, a one-piece Rear Deck Accent at 2.1"; and SGR24540, a two-piece "MAXIMA" Logo Decal sold as a set of two. SGR24541, TH24540, WP24540, WP24545, WQ24540 and WS24540 are linked by number only. RD24540 is cataloged for the back of the sedan too, so stage it with the surround if you're buying both. Each listing describes its own finish and mounting.
The two-piece surround is for 2004 to 2008 Maximas; dry-fit it with any plate frame you use. Clean afterward with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Mention LPS24540 when you call 877-752-3811.
Pick a dry, mild day for the work, and leave both pieces undisturbed for a while before the first wash so the adhesive can settle. With only two pieces and no hardware, the job is mostly preparation.

Installation tips: License Plate Surround Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- 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.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
