Product Description
Cadillac CTS Coupe 2011-2014 Stainless Rocker Trim, 2.25", 4 Pieces, Below the Door (TH50254)
TH50254 is a four-piece set of polished stainless steel rocker trim for the 2011-2014 Cadillac CTS Coupe, the 2-door. The part name is "On the rocker," and the note says "Installs below the door." The trim is a straight 2.25" wide.
Coupe only
The fitment row names the CTS Coupe and nothing else. The record doesn't list the CTS sedan or wagon for this kit, so if your CTS has four doors, this isn't the listing. Call 877-752-3811 and we'll help you look for the right one.
Below the door, not on it
A Lower Kit spans the bottom of the door itself. This kit is a different type: its note places it below the door, on the rocker area. Before you buy, look at the product photos and at your car with the door closed, and make sure the area under the door is where you want the trim. The record doesn't say how the four pieces are arranged, so the photos are the guide.
Linked Coupe parts
Six other records list the 2-door Coupe. LB50254 is a two-piece license bar extension, and PP50254 is a two-piece pillar post set. WQ50254 is a six-piece wheel well accent at 0.87". MI50254 is a six-piece insert kit at 0.75". GC50254 is a gas door cover, and LP50254 is a license plate bezel. Each is a separate listing, so check each for its finish.
Construction
The four 2.25" CTS Coupe strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel cut in the USA, set over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Cadillac.
Low and close to the road
The rocker area sits low, so clean it carefully: soapy water and a soft brush, a rinse, a full dry, then isopropyl alcohol until a white cloth comes away clean.
Trial fit
Hold each piece in place with painter's tape. Open the door and make sure nothing touches the door edge as it swings. Then look along the side from the front and rear corners to check the line.
Sticking it down
Peel a short length of liner, set that end, then press steadily along the piece as you pull the rest of the liner away. Finish with firm pressure over every inch.
Mirror the sides
Measure the gap from the wheel openings and match it for each piece.
Aftercare
Let the tape set for a day before washing. Rinse road salt off the rocker area through the winter.
Contact
Before ordering
Check three things: your CTS is the 2-door Coupe, it's a 2011-2014 model, and the area below the doors is clear of aftermarket skirts or guards. If any of those is uncertain, send a side photo to 877-752-3811.
Supplies
A soft brush, car soap and a bucket, towels, isopropyl alcohol, painter's tape and a tape measure.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 4 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.
