Product Description
Toyota FJ Cruiser 2007-2010 Upper Hood Grille Accent, 1-Piece Stainless (SG27142)
SG27142 is a single polished stainless accent noted "Upper Hood," listed for the Toyota FJ Cruiser 4-door SUV from 2007 through 2010 only. That's a shorter span than QAA's other FJ grille listings, which run several years later, so the model year is the first check before anything else.
Four years, not eight
The fitment ends at 2010. If your FJ is a later year, this listing doesn't cover it, and we won't assume it fits. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with your year and we'll tell you what is cataloged.
What "Upper Hood" means here
That's the record's placement note for this front grille accent trim. The data doesn't give its length, width or outline, so check the product photos to see exactly where it sits relative to the grille and hood.
Material and mounting
The FJ Cruiser upper hood accent is a single mirror-polished piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless made in the USA, mounted over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the SUV.
No linked parts
The record ties nothing to this listing. QAA does catalog a nine-piece and a two-piece FJ grille set elsewhere, but because they aren't linked to this part in the data, we can't say how they relate. Look at their photos and ask us before combining them.
A single long piece
One-piece accents near the hood line are seen at eye level from the front, so straightness is what matters. Tape it in place with the liner on, then crouch to sight along its length from each end and from straight ahead. Mark both ends once it's right.
Clean the hood area
Wash and dry the front of the FJ, paying attention to the area around the hood edge where wax and polish residue collect. Finish with a film-free solvent wipe, changing to a clean section of cloth each time, until nothing more lifts.
Install
Anchor one end, then peel the liner a few inches at a time, pressing the accent along its path. Go back over the full length with firm pressure and work the ends. Install on a mild, dry day out of direct sun. Details are on the Installation tab.
Hood clearance
Before peeling, open and close the hood once with the piece taped in place to be sure nothing rubs. The record doesn't address clearance, so it's a sensible check.
Care
No washing for a few days, then mild soap and a soft cloth. The polish is in the steel, so a gentle metal polish revives it. Nothing factory is removed.
Before ordering
Confirm the model year on the door-jamb label, and check that the hood and grille are factory parts in good condition. An aftermarket hood, a bug deflector or a repainted panel near the hood line can all change things, so mention any of them when you call.

Installation tips: Front Grille Accent Trim
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
