Product Description
Chevrolet Malibu 2013 Grille Accent, 2-Piece, 1.75" x 13" Polished Stainless (SG53105)
SG53105 is a two-piece polished stainless grille accent set for the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu sedan, and it comes with real dimensions in the record: 1.75" width by 13" length. That makes it easy to preview on your own car before ordering.
Preview with tape
Cut two strips of painter's tape, each 1.75 inches wide and 13 inches long, and lay them where the photos show the accents. The record doesn't say explicitly whether both pieces share that size, so treat it as the listed size and compare with the photos. Step back and see whether the proportions suit you.
One model year
The fitment reads "2013-2013": the 2013 Malibu, 4-door sedan, no trim exclusions. Grilles can change between years, so if your Malibu is a different year, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror polished, made in the USA. Both pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Stand-alone
No sibling parts are linked to this listing. Ask us about other Malibu trim.
Making the pair match
Two long strips side by side need to be parallel and even. Tape both up with liners on, measure each from a fixed point on the grille, and check with a tape measure that both sit at the same height. Sight them from straight ahead.
Preparation
Wash the front, rinse, and dry. Wipe each landing area with a solvent that flashes off cleanly, switching to a fresh section of cloth until it stops picking up dirt. Leftover wax keeps tape from gripping, even when you can't see it.
Applying
Anchor one end of a strip, peel the liner a few inches at a time, and press as you go. Repeat with the second piece. Finish with firm pressure along both full lengths. A mild, dry day out of direct sun is ideal. See the Installation tab.
Before ordering
Confirm the year, and check for a factory grille without repairs, cracks or touch-up paint where the strips will land.
Why polished 304
The shine is part of the steel, so there's no plating to lift; a light polish restores it.
Care
Leave it a few days before washing; then mild soap and a soft cloth. Nothing factory is replaced.
What changes
Only the look of the grille. The accents lay over the existing surface; nothing is removed, cut or swapped, and the job needs no tools beyond cleaning supplies, a tape measure and painter's tape.
Working with long strips
Thirteen inches of tape is a lot to set at once. Keep the liner on until the piece is exactly placed, and have a helper hold the far end while you start pressing at the near end. That keeps the strip straight and stops it grabbing early.

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.
