Product Description
Toyota Prius C 2012-2017 Grille Accent, 3-Piece Polished Stainless (SG12705)
SG12705 is a three-piece polished stainless grille accent set for the Toyota Prius C hatchback, 2012 through 2017. The C is the badge to check: QAA lists a different, one-piece grille accent for the Prius V, and the two are not interchangeable on paper.
Confirm the C
Look at the hatch badge. A "C" after Prius means this listing; a "V" or no letter means it isn't. When in doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Three pieces, no map
The record gives the count, three, but doesn't describe what each piece covers or list dimensions. The product photos show how they're arranged across the grille. Lay all three out in that arrangement before you start.
Fitment
Six model years, 2012 to 2017, 4-door hatchback, no trim exclusions.
Steel and tape
The three Prius C grille pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, and QAA makes them in the USA. They install over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Toyota.
Two linked Prius C parts
TH12706 is a two-piece on-the-rocker trim at 1.25 inches that installs below the door. WQ12705 is a four-piece wheel well accent set at 0.875 inches. That's the whole list in the data. Check each listing for its finish, and call if you want to know what else is cataloged for the C.
Working with a multi-piece grille set
Spacing between pieces is what people notice. Tape all three up with painter's tape, liners on, and stand in front of the car at a normal viewing distance. Adjust until the gaps are even and the set matches the photos, then mark each piece's ends before peeling anything.
Which piece first
The photos are your reference, but a good habit is to set the piece that the others line up against first, then work outward. That way a small error doesn't stack up across the set.
Prep
Wash and rinse the front end thoroughly, dry it, and wipe each landing area with a residue-free cleaner. Use a clean fold of cloth every pass, and stop when it comes away clean.
Press and check
Peel one liner, place, and press firmly along the whole piece. Repeat for the other two, then go back over all three edges. Mild, dry weather in the shade helps the tape bond. The Installation tab covers the details.
Care
No washing for a few days. After that, mild soap and a soft cloth. Because there's no plating, a gentle metal polish restores the shine. The grille underneath is unchanged.
Before ordering
Check the grille for aftermarket replacements, curb damage or chalky plastic. The accents are cataloged for the factory grille and need a clean, sound surface. If yours has been repaired or painted, send a photo and we will gladly talk it through with you before you buy.

Installation tips: Front Grille Accent Trim
- Unpack all 3 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.
