Product Description
Front Bumper Cap Trim for the 2013-2015 Nissan Altima Sedan, 2-Piece Polished Stainless (BC13550)
The front bumper is the first thing people see when your Altima pulls in, and BC13550 puts a small, deliberate touch of polished steel right there. This is QAA's two-piece bumper cap trim accent for the front of the 2013-2015 Nissan Altima 4-door sedan. It is a modest part with a modest price, and it is meant to sharpen the face of the car rather than transform it.
What a bumper cap accent is
A bumper cap trim is a thin bright piece that sits on a bumper surface as an accent where the factory bumper is plain painted plastic. QAA catalogs this set specifically as a front accent, and it comes as a pair. The catalog does not describe the exact outline or location of each of the two pieces, so the product photos are your reference for where they sit on the Altima.
Fitment
QAA lists one vehicle for BC13550: the Nissan Altima 4-door sedan from 2013, 2014, and 2015. The coupe is not part of this listing, and neither are other model years. When in doubt, check the photos against your own bumper or call us.
Built from stainless
Both pieces are made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. Since they are solid stainless, there is no chrome plating to flake and no plastic core. Grade 304 is one of the most common stainless steels used for trim, and 26 gauge is the thickness of the sheet QAA cuts from.
A quick install
QAA pre-applies 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape to each piece, and the accent goes on directly over the existing surface of the bumper. No drilling, no bumper removal. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the paint. With only two pieces, this is about as easy as trim installation gets: clean the area, dry-fit, peel the liner, and press firmly. Details are in the Installation tab.
The rest of the Altima lineup
If you want the front accent to tie into the rest of the car, QAA lists several matching parts for the same sedan. RB13550 is a one-piece rear bumper trim accent at 2.5", which pairs naturally with a front bumper accent. AT13550 is a four-piece body side molding accent at 1" wide, WQ13550 is a four-piece wheel well accent at 0.875", and TH13551 is a two-piece rocker kit that installs below the door at 1.25". There is also LP13550, a one-piece license plate bezel. Each is linked in the Fitment tab.
Front and rear together
Many owners like matching the front and back of a car. Pairing this front cap with RB13550 at the rear gives the Altima bright steel at both ends, while leaving the sides clean and uncluttered.

Installation tips: Bumper Cap Trim Accent
- Unpack all 2 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.
