Product Description
License Bar Extension Trim for the 2011-2014 Cadillac CTS Coupe (LB50254)
The CTS Coupe gets its own listing here. LB50254 is a two-piece License Bar Extension Trim made for the Cadillac CTS Coupe, 2-door, model years 2011 through 2014. Four years, one body style. If your CTS is a sedan or wagon, this part number isn't listed for it.
Material and mounting
For the 2011-2014 CTS Coupe, both pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, made in the USA. Each mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, with no drilling and no fasteners, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the coupe's surface.
Where the data stops
We can tell you the count, the material and the fitment. We can't tell you, from the catalog, exactly what an "extension" means on this coupe, how the two pieces are positioned, or how wide they are, because the listing doesn't say. The photos show the layout, so use them as your plan. If the area around the plate on your coupe looks different from the photos, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with LB50254 before ordering.
Fitting tips
With two pieces, small misalignments between them stand out more than they would on a single bar. Clean the area thoroughly with soap, water and rubbing alcohol. Dry-fit both pieces with liners on, copying the photo layout, and check the spacing from straight behind the CTS Coupe and from a slight angle. A tape measure from each piece to the plate edge confirms even spacing. Painter's tape marks at the ends hold your position. Peel and press one piece, then align the second to it and press. Finish with a firm press along both. Close the trunk gently for the first day, and see the Installation tab for the temperature range.
Coupe parts on the sheet
Six other parts share the coupe fitment. PP50254 is a two-piece pillar post kit. WQ50254 is a six-piece wheel well accent at 0.87". GC50254 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. LP50254 is a one-piece license plate bezel, the part that frames the plate itself. MI50254 is a six-piece body molding insert kit at 0.75". TH50254 is a four-piece rocker trim at 2.25" that Installs below the door. Since LP50254 and this extension both work around the plate, compare their photos together if you're considering both. Check each listing for its finish.
Paint condition
Before installing, look over the paint where the pieces will go. Chips, lifting clear coat or old adhesive will weaken the tape's grip. Remove residue carefully and fix any flaking finish first.
A careful choice
Because the catalog says so little about this extension, a few minutes with the photos pays off. Look at them on a large screen, then stand behind your coupe and picture both pieces in place. If it looks right, order; if you're unsure how it relates to anything on your trunk, call first.
Keeping it clean
Wash with mild soap and water; dry with a soft towel. Abrasive pads scratch polished stainless, so leave them out.

Installation tips: License Bar Extension 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.
