Product Description
Kia Optima SX 2011-2015 Grille Accent, 1-Piece Polished Stainless (SG11805)
SG11805 is a single polished stainless grille accent for the Kia Optima sedan, 2011 through 2015, and the fitment line limits it to the SX model only. If your Optima wears a different trim badge, this listing isn't cataloged for it.
SX only
The record says "SX Model only" in so many words. The data doesn't explain what about the other trims rules them out, so we won't speculate. If you aren't sure which trim you have, check the badge or your window sticker, or call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with your VIN.
A stray "Spoiler" bullet
One of the product bullets in the record reads simply "Spoiler." That word isn't part of this grille accent's description; call to confirm the fit. This part is a front grille accent trim; it is not a spoiler and doesn't include one. If you see the word in older copies of this listing, that's why.
Years
Five model years, 2011 to 2015, 4-door sedan, SX trim.
Material
One piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror, made in the USA, with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. It installs over the existing surface without grille removal. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface. No dimensions are listed; the photos show the shape.
A long list of Optima companions

None of these sibling records carries the SX restriction, so check each listing's fitment and finish separately.
Cleaning the grille
Bugs, road film and wax collect in a grille's recesses. Wash the front, rinse thoroughly, dry completely, and then wipe the landing spot with a residue-free cleaner until a fresh fold of cloth shows nothing.
Dry-fit and install
With the liner on, hold the accent where the photos show it and mark both ends with painter's tape. Step back and look at it straight on. Peel the liner gradually as you press the accent into place, then go over it again firmly from end to end. Mild, dry weather out of direct sun helps. The Installation tab has full steps.
Older paint and plastic
An Optima of this age can have chalky plastic or years of wax up front. Clean until the surface feels squeaky, and call before installing over anything that flakes.
Care
A few days before washing, then mild soap and a soft cloth. Solid stainless has no plating to lift, so a light polish restores the shine.

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.
