Product Description
Cadillac SRX 2004-2009 Stainless License Plate Surround, 3 Pieces (LPS44260)
LPS44260 is a three-piece License Plate Surround Trim for the Cadillac SRX 4-door SUV, model years 2004 through 2009. Six years, one row, no exclusions. What makes it worth a careful read is that the catalog also lists LP44260, a one-piece License Plate Bezel, for the same SRX and the same years.
So which one do you want? The catalog doesn't explain how a three-piece surround and a one-piece bezel differ on this SUV. Neither record gives dimensions or says what each piece covers, and we won't fill that gap with a guess. Set the two sets of product photos side by side, look at your own plate area, and choose the look you're after. If the photos don't settle it, Quality Automotive Trims can talk it through at 877-752-3811; mention both LPS44260 and LP44260.
Three pieces make the dry fit the heart of this job. The listing doesn't describe how the pieces relate to each other, so the photos are your layout guide. Hold all three in position with their liners on before you peel any of them, step back from the SUV and check that the arrangement looks balanced. Mark each piece's spot with painter's tape. Then install them one at a time, pressing each firmly along its edges before moving to the next.
Every piece is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA. There's no plating on it, so there's no coating to peel. The set mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, with no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
The paint around the plate on an SRX from these years deserves a close look. Tape holds only to sound paint, so repair chips, fading or peeling clear coat first. Then remove leftover frame or decal adhesive, wash with soap and water, dry completely and wipe with rubbing alcohol. The Installation tab lists the steps and the temperature range for the tape, and a dry, mild day is the right time to do it.
The SRX has nine other linked parts. Described on this sheet: DS44260, a four-piece Door Sill trim; GC44260, a one-piece Gas Door Cover Trim; PP44260 and PP44261, Pillar Post Trim kits with four and six pieces; TH44261, a six-piece Rocker Panel Trim, Insert Kit at 2-2.5" with a note reading "Side Molding"; and WQ44260, a four-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim. SG44260 and WZ46260 are linked by number only; WZ46260's number follows a different pattern from the rest, so check that listing's fitment. Each listing covers its own finish and mounting.
Check the SRX is a 2004 to 2009, and test any plate frame with the three pieces held in place. Afterward, clean all three pieces with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Mention LPS44260 when you call 877-752-3811. When you phone 877-752-3811 about your SRX, quote LPS44260.
With three pieces and no hardware, the job is mostly staging and cleaning.

Installation tips: License Plate Surround Trim
- Unpack all 3 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.
