Product Description
Chevrolet Equinox 2010-2015 Grille Accent with Logo Cut-Out, 1-Piece Stainless (SG50160)
SG50160 is a one-piece polished stainless grille accent for the Chevrolet Equinox SUV, 2010 through 2015, noted "With Logo Cut Out." The cut-out lets the accent sit around the Chevrolet emblem rather than over it.
Why the cut-out matters
A grille accent that crosses the emblem has to leave room for it. The note tells you this one does. The data doesn't give the cut-out's size or the accent's dimensions, so compare the product photos with your grille. Questions? Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Equinox years
Six model years, 2010 to 2015, 4-door SUV, no trim exclusions.
Construction
One piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished, made in the USA. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape lets it go on over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
One linked part
FV50160 is a two-piece front vent trim for the same Equinox. Together with the grille accent, it gives the front end a coordinated look. It's sold separately; check its listing for its finish.
Lining up the cut-out
The emblem is your reference point. With the liner on, set the cut-out around the logo and check that the margin is even on all sides. Then look at the accent's ends: they should sit level. Mark both ends with painter's tape.
Cleaning around the emblem
Polish and wax collect around emblem edges. Wash, dry, then clean the whole landing area with a residue-free solvent. A cotton swab helps in the tight spots near the logo. Keep going until a fresh cloth shows nothing.
Pressing it on
Peel the liner starting at one end and work toward the other, keeping the cut-out centered on the logo as you go. Then press firmly along the full length, especially around the cut-out. Pick a mild, dry, shaded day. The Installation tab explains more.
Vent trim second
If you're also installing FV50160, put it on after the grille accent so you can match its position to the finished grille.
Before ordering
Make sure your grille and emblem are the factory parts. An aftermarket or blacked-out emblem of a different size could change how the cut-out fits; mention it when you call.
Why stainless
Polished 304 has no plating to peel. A light metal polish restores the mirror.
Care
After fitting, let the Equinox grille accent sit before washing; then mild soap and a soft cloth keep the stainless clean.
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 SUV. The grille isn't unclipped or replaced. All you need is a residue-free cleaner, a few cloths, a tape measure, painter's tape and some patience.
On an older Equinox
Front plastic from these years can be faded or chalky. Clean until the surface feels smooth, and if anything flakes, send a photo before installing.

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.
