Product Description
Honda Accord Sedan 2008-2012 Rear Bumper Accent, Stainless Steel (RB28281)
RB28281 is a single polished stainless accent for the rear bumper of the 2008-2012 Honda Accord 4-door sedan. It is made in the USA from 304 stainless with a mirror finish and mounts with 3M tape.
For the sedan
The linked kits for this Accord include parts for both the sedan and the 2-door coupe, so it is worth being clear: this bumper accent is recorded for the 4-door sedan. Coupe owners should call before ordering.
Years
2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, all on one record.
Sedan trim versus coupe trim
The catalog links these sedan kits:
- RD28281, a rear deck accent with a listed width of 2.5 inches
- GC28281, a two-piece gas door cover
- DH28281, an eight-piece door handle cover kit noted as not including passenger key access
- TH28281, a two-piece on-the-rocker kit that installs below the door
- WQ28281, wheel well trim
DH28251 and TH28251 are the coupe versions of the door handle and rocker kits. They are not recorded for the sedan.
Pair it with the deck accent
The rear deck accent sits on the trunk lid above the bumper. Installing both gives the back of the Accord two horizontal lines; check the other listing for its finish. Fit the deck accent first, then center the bumper strip under it.
What a rear bumper accent is
A polished strip that adheres to the rear bumper cover. It is decorative, and the bumper stays as it is.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror polish. No plating, so no flaking.
Mounting
The Accord accent bonds to the existing bumper surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't damage the sedan.
Prep
Wash the bumper and dry it, then wipe the mounting spot with a residue-free cleaner. On an older sedan, check that the paint is intact where the strip will sit and touch up chips first.
Install
Dry-fit with the liner on, using the photos. Measure from each end to the bumper edges and mark the line. On a dry, mild day, peel the liner and press firmly from the middle out. Wait a few days before washing. The Installation tab gives the full steps.
Care
Hand wash with mild soap and dry with a soft towel. No abrasive pads or gritty polishing compounds on the mirror face.
Centering tips
A single accent on a wide bumper shows any offset right away. Use a tape measure from both ends during the dry-fit and look again from eye level behind the car before peeling. If the deck accent is already on, use it as a visual guide.
Why stainless
The finish is the metal itself, so there is no plated layer to wear with years of washing. Check the other QAA listings for this sedan for their finish.

Installation tips: Rear Bumper Trim Accent
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
