Product Description
TH51145 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan 2011-2015 Lower Kit, 1"-1.5" Tapered, 4 Pieces
TH51145 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze sedan. Per its note, it goes "On the doors only," spanning from the bottom of the door up, and it tapers from 1" to 1.5".
A narrow, tapering band
At its widest the trim is an inch and a half tall, and at its narrowest one inch. The record doesn't say which end is which. Hold a piece against its door with painter's tape to see the direction of the taper before you commit.
Doors only
The note keeps the trim on the four doors. Beyond that, the record gives no layout, so the photos are your guide.
Cruze sedan, five years
The fitment row is the 4-door sedan from 2011 to 2015, with no trim exclusions on the rocker kit itself.
Trim tags on a sibling
MC51145, a two-piece mirror cover set listed as Chrome Plated ABS plastic, is tagged LS, LT and LTZ. This rocker kit's row carries no trim tags. If your Cruze is a different trim and you want the mirror covers too, ask us first.
Pillar and deck parts
PP51145, PP51146 and PP51147 are pillar post sets of four, six and eight pieces; PP51147 "Includes Rear Triangle piece." RD51145 is a rear deck accent at 0.9375". Check each listing for its finish.
Material
The Cruze kit is four polished 26 gauge 304 stainless pieces from the USA, applied to the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the Chevrolet sedan.
Clean doors
Wash, dry, then wipe the lower doors with isopropyl alcohol until the cloth stays clean.
Install
Tape each piece up and open the door to check clearance at the bottom. Then peel the liner a little at a time and press.
Even
Keep the same measurements on every Cruze piece.
Contact
Before ordering
Make sure your Cruze is the sedan and falls within 2011 to 2015. The record lists no other body for this kit. If you have a different body or aren't sure of the year, call 877-752-3811.
Previewing the line
Run a strip of painter's tape about an inch tall along the bottom of a door and look at it from the front corner of the car. It shows roughly where the polished line will sit.
Have ready
Soap and water, two clean towels, isopropyl alcohol, painter's tape, a tape measure and a pencil for the liners.
Bottom edges
Check each door's lower edge for chips or loose paint and repair them first.
Timing
Fit the Cruze trim on a mild, dry day in shade, and wait a day before the first wash.
Final pass
When all four pieces are on, press each one again from end to end with the flat of your hand, then check the line from the front.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- 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.
