Product Description
Kia Optima 2011-2015 Porthole Surround Rings, 2-Piece Stainless, No Center Strip (PB11805)
PB11805 is a two-piece porthole accent set for the 2011-2015 Kia Optima 4-door sedan, and its note is precise about what's in the box: "Surround Ring only, No center strip." You get the rings that frame the porthole area, cut from polished stainless steel. You don't get a center strip. If you were expecting both, this listing isn't the complete look, and a call to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 is the fastest way to find out what else is available.
The fitment row
Kia Optima, 2011 to 2015, 4-door, sedan. The title gives the same years. These accents are tagged for Optimas of 2011 to 2015. The row carries no trim-level restriction for this part. For the Optima's prep routine, open the Installation tab.
Material and attachment
Both rings are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface, so you won't drill. Anything about PB11805 you'd like to check first? Phone 877-752-3811 and ask. No ring size is listed, which makes the product photos your best fit check.
Centering a ring
A surround ring looks right only when the gap around what it frames is even all the way around. That's the whole trick to this install:
- Wash the area, dry it, and wipe it with rubbing alcohol. Let it flash off.
- Hold the ring in place with the liner on and look at it from straight in front, not at an angle.
- Nudge it until the margin looks equal on every side, then mark its position with two or three small pieces of painter's tape around the outside.
- Peel the liner, line up with the marks, and press around the full circumference.
- Repeat for the second ring and compare the pair from a few steps back.
The Installation tab has the temperature range and cure time. Before any of this, look closely at the surface the rings will sit on. Chips, peeling clear coat or a heavy wax film all weaken a tape bond, so fix or remove them first.
An SX-only note that doesn't apply here
One part on this sheet does carry a restriction: SG11805, a 1-piece front grille accent trim, is tagged "SX Model only." That note belongs to the grille piece, not to these porthole rings. If you're ordering both, check your trim level for the grille piece.
Other Optima parts listed
PP11805 and PP11806 are pillar post sets with 4 and 6 pieces. GC11805 is a 1-piece gas door cover trim and LP11805 a 1-piece license plate bezel.

Four more parts are listed by number only, so check each one's own listing for details.
Keeping the polish
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth are all the rings need. Steel wool and abrasive pads will scratch them. For anything else about PB11805, call 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Porthole 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.
