Product Description
Cadillac CTS Coupe 2011-2014 Stainless Molding Insert Kit, 6 Pieces at 0.75 Inch (MI50254)
MI50254 is a coupe-only kit. Its single row is the Cadillac CTS Coupe, 2-door, model years 2011 through 2014, and it supplies six polished 304 stainless molding insert strips, each 0.75 inches wide. The title matches the row.
Six strips on a 2-door
The catalog doesn't say where each of the six pieces goes. Before ordering, look through the product photos and match each strip to a spot on your car. Then check your own moldings: are they all present, firmly attached and similar in profile to what the photos show? If something doesn't line up, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give the SKU, MI50254.
Narrow width, careful measuring
At 0.75 inches, the strips are slim. Measure the flat face of a molding with a ruler and compare the result with 0.75 inches and with the pictures. A narrow strip on a much wider face can look lost, so it's worth checking now rather than after.
Material and mounting
The strips are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling.
Install, start to finish
Work on a dry, mild day; the Installation tab lists the temperature range. Lay out all six strips by the photos and label the liners. Inspect the moldings, fix any cracks or lifting ends, and remove old adhesive. Wash, dry and wipe each molding with rubbing alcohol. Dry-fit each strip with its liner on and check that the gap to the molding edges is even at both ends, since narrow strips show any tilt. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel, place and press firmly along the full length. Sight down the strips when they're done.
CTS Coupe parts on the same sheet
Six other parts share the coupe tag. GC50254 is a 1-piece gas door cover trim and LP50254 a 1-piece license plate bezel. LB50254 is a 2-piece license bar extension trim; the catalog doesn't say what it extends, so check its photos. PP50254 is a 2-piece pillar post set. TH50254 is a 4-piece rocker panel trim that goes on the rocker and installs below the door, listed at 2.25. WQ50254 is a 6-piece wheel well accent trim at 0.87. Each has its own listing and photos.
Planning more than one part
If the rocker trim or wheel well accents are also on your list, note that each is a separate listing with its own width: 2.25 for the rocker trim and 0.87 for the wheel well accents, compared with 0.75 for these strips. Look at the photos of each together to picture the combined result before ordering.
Body style
Only the 2-door coupe is listed for this kit. If your CTS is a different body style, this row doesn't cover it; call and we'll help look.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Keep steel wool and abrasive pads away from the polished face. Questions? 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Molding Insert
- 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.
