Product Description
Chevrolet Traverse 2009-2012 Grille Logo Extension Inserts, 2-Piece Stainless (SG49165)
SG49165 is a pair of polished stainless grille accents for the Chevrolet Traverse SUV, 2009 through 2012, described in the record as "Logo Extension Inserts." The note points to the grille logo area; the photos show exactly how the pair relates to it.
What we know about placement
Only the phrase "Logo Extension Inserts" and the count, two. No dimensions, no outline. Compare the product photos with your Traverse's grille, and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 if you want to talk it through.
Fitment
Traverse 4-door SUV, model years 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. No trims are excluded in the record.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, made in the USA. Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Traverse parts in the record
- FV49165: two-piece fog light trim, also on the front.
- RD49166: hatch accent, 3 inches.
- DH49165: one-piece tailgate handle accent trim ring.
- DH49166: one-piece tailgate handle cover, with no key hole or camera access.
Check each Traverse grille listing for its finish.
Ring or cover for the hatch handle?
The two DH listings are different parts: a ring (DH49165) and a full cover with no key hole or camera access (DH49166). If your Traverse has a camera or key cylinder at the handle, the cover's note matters, so read it before ordering.
Placing both pieces evenly
Tape both pieces up with liners on in the positions the photos show. Measure each from the logo's edge or another fixed point so they sit evenly. Look from straight in front of the SUV and adjust until they're even.
Clean around the logo
Wax and polish residue tend to build up around emblems. Wash, dry, and wipe each landing spot with a residue-free solvent, using a cotton swab around tight edges, until nothing more comes off.
Installing
Peel one liner gradually and press the piece onto its marks, then the other. Press both firmly along their full length. Choose a mild, dry, shaded day. The Installation tab has more.
Front set
If you're fitting FV49165 fog light trim, do the grille pieces first and the fog lights second, so you can judge the front as a whole.
Before ordering
Check for a factory grille and emblem; a replaced or aftermarket grille is a reason to call first.
Care
No washing for a few days, then mild soap and a soft cloth. A light polish restores the solid stainless.
Planning the whole Traverse
The linked parts split neatly between front and rear. Grille inserts and fog light trim go up front; the hatch accent and one of the two handle parts go at the back. Order the set you want together, clean everything in one session, and install front first, then rear, mocking up each area with painter's tape before any liner comes off.

Installation tips: Front Grille Accent Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- 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.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
