Product Description
Dodge Nitro 2007-2011 Lower Grille Accent, 3.5" Wide, Polished Stainless (SG47940)
SG47940 is a single polished stainless accent for the lower front of the Dodge Nitro SUV, 2007 through 2011. The record gives it a width, 3.5 inches, and the placement note "Lower," so it's a broad bright band low on the nose rather than an upper grille piece.
A wide accent
At 3.5 inches, this is a substantial piece of stainless. To preview it, cut painter's tape to that width and lay it across the lower front where the photos show the accent. Step back and decide whether you like the proportions. The record doesn't give a length, so use the photos for that.
Nitro coverage
Five model years, 2007 through 2011, 4-door SUV, no trim exclusions. Questions go to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Material
For the Nitro SUV, the grille accent is a single piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror-polished in the USA, held to the existing grille with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape lasts a lifetime without harming the Dodge.

Front and back
The 3.5-inch lower accent up front and the 8.75-inch bumper accent at the rear are both broad pieces, so they make a natural pair if you want bold bright work at both ends of the Nitro. Mock them up on the same day to judge the balance.
Prep the lower front
This area catches road spray and grit. Wash carefully, rinse, and dry completely. Wipe the landing band with a solvent that leaves no film, switching cloth faces until no grime shows.
Straight and centered
Measure from fixed points on the Nitro front end to place the accent where the photos show it. Tape both ends, sight it from in front, then from the side, to check it's level.
Applying
Peel a few inches of liner at the center, set it, and work outward to each end with firm pressure, then go over the full length again. Mild, dry, shaded conditions help. The Installation tab covers more.
Care
Leave it a few days before washing; then mild soap and a soft cloth. Solid stainless, so a light polish restores it.
Before ordering
Lower front plastic on a Nitro from these years can have scrapes, touch-up or faded patches. The tape needs a clean, sound surface across the full 3.5-inch width, so look closely and send a photo if anything is rough. A replacement bumper cover is also worth mentioning when you call, since the accent is cataloged for the factory part.

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.
