Product Description
Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon 2010-2014 License Bar Extension Trim, Two-Piece Stainless (LB50251)
Written for the CTS Sport Wagon only, LB50251 is a two-piece set QAA catalogs as License Bar Extension Trim. The fitment row reads Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, 4-door, model years 2010 through 2014, and the product title carries the same years. There is no second row and no sedan or coupe entry, so the wagon body is the whole fitment story here.
For the CTS Sport Wagon, both pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished and made in the USA. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds each one over the existing surface, so the liftgate isn't drilled. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the wagon's surface.
Reading this listing honestly
The catalog name tells you the part type but not the layout. It doesn't explain what the two pieces extend, where they sit around the plate, or whether they match up with existing brightwork on the liftgate. No width is listed either. So the product photos carry the information: they show both pieces and how they're arranged. Look at them next to the back of your wagon. If you can't tell how they'd sit on yours, phone Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811, give the part number LB50251, and we'll walk through it with you before you buy.
Working with a pair
The challenge with a two-piece accent is even spacing. Prepare the whole area at once: soap and water, a full dry, then two passes of rubbing alcohol. Set both pieces in place with the liners still on, matching the photos. Step back several paces and look from straight behind the wagon. Then measure: each piece should sit the same distance from the plate and at the same height. Mark the outer ends with painter's tape. Install one piece, check the second against it, then install the second. A final firm press on both, and leave the liftgate closed gently for the first day. See the Installation tab for temperature.
Wagon-specific parts
Every part on this sheet carries the Sport Wagon fitment. PP50252 is an eight-piece pillar post kit. WP50251 is a twelve-piece window trim package with upper trim and pillar posts and no window sills. AT50251 and AT50256 are fourteen-piece body side molding accent kits at 1", and here the catalog does give a difference: AT50251 is noted Arrow and AT50256 Straight. Both notes describe a six-piece side and a two-piece side, the pair of pieces going on the gas door and to the rear of it. Check each listing's photos for finish before mixing them with this extension.
Confirm your vehicle
Your records should read CTS and the body should be the Sport Wagon, from 2010 to 2014. If you have a CTS sedan or coupe, this isn't the listing for it.
Older paint
A wagon from these years may have chips or old adhesive near the plate. Inspect the area in good light, remove residue, and fix any flaking finish before the tape goes on.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft towel. Skip scouring pads and gritty polish.

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.
