Product Description
Cadillac STS 2008-2011 Grille Insert Package, 6-Piece Polished Stainless (SG45236)
SG45236 is a six-piece polished stainless grille insert package for the Cadillac STS sedan, model years 2008 through 2011. It's a stand-alone listing in the record, with no linked companion parts, so everything you need to know is on this page and in the photos.
Four STS years
2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, 4-door sedan, with no trim exclusions. An STS outside those years isn't on this listing; call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 if you're unsure of yours.
Six inserts
"Insert Package" is the record's description. It doesn't say how the six pieces are arranged or list any measurements. The product photos show the layout across the grille. Inserts sit within the grille's shape, as opposed to a surround that frames the outside edge.
Material
Every piece is mirror-polished 304 stainless in 26-gauge, made in the USA, with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. The package 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 linked STS parts
The record ties nothing else to this package. If you'd like trim elsewhere on your STS, call and we'll check the catalog.
Patience with six pieces
Multi-piece grille sets reward a slow start. Lay all six out on a soft towel in the photo's arrangement, liners on. Put each one up with a tab of painter's tape and step back to the distance someone would see the car in a lot. Adjust until spacing and alignment look even across the grille, and number each liner.
Deep-clean the grille
Bug residue, road film and polish build up in grille recesses on any car this age. Wash, use a soft detailing brush in the openings, rinse until the water runs clear, and dry completely. Then wipe each landing spot with a solvent that leaves no film, moving to a fresh part of the cloth each time.
One piece at a time
Start in the middle of the grille and work out. Peel a liner, align to your marks, press firmly along the full length. Move to the next. When all six are on, go over every edge again. Mild, dry, shaded conditions help. The Installation tab has full steps.
Before ordering
Look at your grille for damage, repairs, or an aftermarket replacement. The package is cataloged for the factory grille. Faded or chalky surfaces are worth a photo and a call.
Why polished 304
The mirror is part of the steel, not a plated layer, so there's nothing to flake. A light polish revives it.
Upkeep
Let the tape cure a few days before washing. After that, mild soap and a soft cloth, and keep pressure-washer tips away from the edges. The grille itself is untouched.
With a stand-alone package like this one, a quick call is the easiest way to confirm anything the photos don't make obvious, from piece order to whether your STS has the factory grille.

Installation tips: Front Grille Accent Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
