Product Description
Toyota Prius V 2012-2017 Stainless License Bar Accent, 2 Pieces (LB12700)
LB12700 for the Toyota Prius V is a license bar that comes as two pieces rather than one. It is cataloged as a License Plate Bar Accent, for the Prius V 4-door hatchback, model years 2012 through 2017, and both pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA.
Why two pieces?
The catalog gives the count but doesn't say how the two pieces are arranged above the plate, whether side by side, one above the other, or split around something on the hatch. We won't guess. The product photos show the installed layout, and they're the reference to use. Compare them with the area above your plate, and if your Prius V has something there the photos don't show, call before ordering.
Fitment
One fitment row: Toyota Prius V, 4-door hatchback, 2012-2017, six model years. No width or key access note appears on the listing. Check the model and year; this listing is specifically for the Prius V.
Mounting
Both Prius V pieces attach over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. No drilling, and nothing comes off the car. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Installing a two-piece bar
Two pieces means two things have to line up with each other as well as with the plate. Clean the area with soap and water, then rubbing alcohol, and let it dry. Set both pieces in place with the liners still on, using the photos as your guide. Step back and check from directly behind the hatch that they look even and level. Run a strip of painter's tape along the lower edge as a straight guide. Then peel and press the first piece, set the second against the same guide, and press both firmly along their full lengths. Remove the painter's tape and give each piece one more firm press. Close the hatch gently for the first day. The Installation tab has temperature notes.

Installation tips: License Plate Bar Accent
- 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.
