Product Description
Arrow-Style Stainless Side Accent for the 2010-2014 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, 14 Pieces (AT50251)
The CTS Sport Wagon is the long-roof version of Cadillac's sharp-edged CTS, and QAA cuts trim specifically for it. AT50251 is a fourteen-piece body side molding accent for the 4-door CTS Sport Wagon built from 2010 through 2014. Each piece is polished stainless steel, 1" wide, and QAA describes the design as "Arrow," meaning the accent ends in pointed tips instead of square cuts. On a car styled with this many hard creases, that pointed shape looks right at home.
Arrow or straight
QAA makes two side accents for this wagon, and the difference is the shape of the ends. This kit, AT50251, is the arrow version. Its sibling, AT50256, is labeled "Straight," with the same fourteen-piece count, the same 1" width, and the same layout. If you like a sharper, more directional look, choose the arrow. If you prefer clean square ends, look at AT50256. The photos on each listing show the difference clearly.
Six on one side, eight on the other
QAA spells out the split: six pieces for the driver's side, and on the passenger side two additional pieces, one on the gas door and one to the rear of the gas door. That lets the accent line carry straight across the fuel door instead of stopping at it. Keep the pieces in the groups the photos show as you unpack.
Material
Every piece is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror shine. There is no plating, so the shine is the metal itself and sits naturally next to any chrome or bright trim already on the wagon. Grade 304 is a widely used stainless, and 26 gauge is the thickness of the sheet.
Installation
QAA pre-applies 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the kit installs directly over the existing surface. No drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface. Begin with whichever run you like; the six-piece one is quicker and lets you settle into the alignment before the eight-piece run with its gas door piece. Before you apply the gas door piece, clean the door, close it, and line the piece up with the pieces on either side so the arrow line stays continuous. The Installation tab covers each step.
More CTS Sport Wagon trim
For the same wagon, QAA lists an eight-piece pillar post kit, a two-piece license bar extension trim, and WP50251, a twelve-piece window trim package with upper trim and pillar posts and no sills. All are linked in the Fitment tab.

Installation tips: Body Side Molding Accent Trim
- Unpack all 14 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle before removing any tape liner.
- Clean and dry the mounting surface so the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds to paint or trim, not dirt or wax.
- Peel the liner, align the piece, and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface.
- 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.
