Product Description
Kia Soul 2010-2011 Grille Accent, Upper Insert, 1-Piece Polished Stainless (SG10830)
For the 2010 and 2011 Kia Soul hatchback, SG10830 is the upper of two grille accents QAA catalogs. It's one polished stainless piece noted as "Upper Insert." Its counterpart, SG10831, is the lower insert, sold separately.
Upper vs. lower
The data distinguishes the two only by those notes: SG10830 "Upper Insert," SG10831 "Lower Insert." Neither listing gives dimensions. Look at both sets of photos to decide whether you want one or the pair. Quality Automotive Trims can help at 877-752-3811.
Two model years
The Soul hatchback, 4-door, 2010 and 2011. That is a short window, so double-check your year before ordering. No trims are excluded.
Material and mounting
For the Soul, the accent is 26-gauge 304 stainless with a mirror polish, made in the USA, fixed to the grille as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape keeps hold for a lifetime without damaging the Kia.
Front-end parts for the same Soul
- SG10831, lower grille insert accent.
- FB10830, a two-piece front bumper trim.
- ML10830, four marker light surround rings for the front and rear.
And at the back
LP10830 is a license plate bezel and LPS10830 a license plate surround trim; the data doesn't describe how those two differ, so compare their photos. Check each listing for its finish.
Order of work up front
If you're fitting the lower insert and bumper trim too, mock all three up with painter's tape first. Install the upper accent first, then the lower, then the bumper pieces, so your hands aren't resting on fresh trim.
Cleaning
Bugs and road film collect in a grille. Wash, rinse thoroughly and dry, then wipe the landing area with a residue-free cleaner until a fresh fold of cloth comes away clean. Let it air-dry.
Placing the accent
Hold it in place with the liner on and compare to the photos. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel the liner gradually as you press the accent down from one end to the other, then go over it again firmly. Mild, dry, shaded conditions help. See the Installation tab.
On an older Soul
Plastic and paint on the front of a vehicle this age can be chalky or carry years of wax. Clean until the surface feels squeaky, and if anything is flaking, call us before installing.
Upkeep
No washing for a few days. Then mild soap and a soft cloth. The polish is in the steel itself, so a gentle metal polish restores it.
What a grille accent is
It's a thin decorative overlay that traces part of the grille and puts a polished line on the nose of the car. The grille underneath is left as it is; the accent simply sits on top of it.
Checking your car first
Look closely at the upper part of your grille and compare it to the product photos. If yours has been replaced with an aftermarket grille or painted, call before ordering, since the record is written for the factory shape.

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.
