Product Description
Cadillac CTS Sedan 2014-2019 Air Dam Insert Grille Accent, 1-Piece Stainless (SG54250)
SG54250 is a single polished stainless accent noted "Air Dam Insert," for the Cadillac CTS sedan, 2014 through 2019. It sits within a large family of linked CTS parts, including four rocker trim options and two sets of standard and long pillar kits.
Air dam insert
The note places the accent on the air dam insert at the lower front. The record doesn't give a size or outline, so check the product photos and compare them with your car. Questions go to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
CTS coverage
4-door sedan, model years 2014 to 2019, with no trim exclusions on this part.
Material
This CTS air dam insert is a single piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror-polished and made in the USA. It goes over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, which QAA says will hold for a lifetime without harming the Cadillac.
Pillar kits: standard and long
PP54250 and PP54251 are four and six-piece pillar kits. PP54444 and PP54445 are also four and six pieces but marked "LONG VERSION - please refer to the accompanying image." The record doesn't say which CTS needs the long version, so compare the images carefully or call us.
Four rocker options
- TH54250: eight-piece lower kit, 2.25-3.5 inches, up from the bottom of the door.
- TH54251: four-piece on-the-rocker, 1.5-2.125, below the door.
- TH54252: ten-piece combination of on-the-rocker and lower kit, 5.25.
- TH54253: two-piece on-the-rocker, 1.25.
The rest
AT54250 four-piece side molding accents at 1 inch; LB54250 two-piece license bar extension; LP54250 bezel; RB54250 rear bumper accent; GC54250 gas door trim. RT54250 is named a tailgate accent with the note "Spoiler Accent," which is unusual for a sedan; look at its photos and ask before ordering. Check each listing for its finish.
Working low
The air dam sits close to the ground and catches road spray. Use a kneeling pad and a flashlight. Wash, rinse, and dry thoroughly, then wipe the landing area with a film-free solvent until the cloth shows nothing.
Placement
Hold the accent up, liner on, compare with the photos, and mark the ends with painter's tape. Check its position against the photos by measuring from fixed points on the grille.
Bonding
Peel the liner gradually from the center outward, pressing as you go, then make a firm second pass. Mild, dry, shaded conditions help. See the Installation tab.
Care
Let a few days pass before washing, then clean with mild soap and a soft cloth. A light polish brings back the shine of the solid stainless.
Before ordering
Look at the air dam for curb scrapes, touch-up paint or a replacement part; this area takes hits, and the tape needs a clean, sound surface. If you're also choosing a rocker kit, compare the four options side by side in their photos first, since their widths and positions differ a great deal. A call with a photo of your CTS can settle both questions together.
Why polished 304
No plating to flake; the mirror is in the steel.

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.
