Product Description
Ford Taurus 2010-2018 Rear Bumper Accent, One-Piece Stainless (RB50490)
For the Ford Taurus 4-door sedan from 2010 through 2018, RB50490 is a single bright strip of 304 stainless steel for the rear bumper. It is mirror polished, made in the USA, and installed with 3M tape over the surface that is already there.
Nine model years, one listing
The fitment runs from 2010 to 2018 without a break: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. The catalog does not split the record by trim, so any Taurus sedan in that span is on this part.
The matching deck accent
Only one other QAA piece is linked to this Taurus: RD50490, a rear deck accent with a listed width of 1.375 inches. It sits on the trunk lid above the bumper. Installed together, the two give the back of the sedan a pair of horizontal lines; check the other listing for its finish before you order.
What a bumper accent does
It is a decorative strip that adheres to the rear bumper cover. It does not alter the bumper, and the car keeps its factory parts.
About the material
The accent is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, the same grade QAA uses across its stainless line. The mirror polish is the surface of the steel itself, so there is no plating to wear through.
How it goes on
On the Taurus, 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds the strip against the existing bumper surface. QAA says the tape lasts a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Older or newer, prep the same way
Whether your Taurus is an early or a late year in this span, the bumper needs to be clean for the tape to hold. Wash and dry it, then wipe the area with a residue-free cleaner. On earlier cars, look for faded or chipped paint where the strip will sit. On later cars, check for coatings or sealants that could keep the tape from gripping, and clear a small area if needed.
Fitting order with the deck accent
If you are installing both pieces, start with the deck accent on the trunk lid. Then hold this strip on the bumper with its liner on, using the deck accent as a visual center line. Measure from each end to the bumper corners to confirm, and mark the position with masking tape.
Pressing it down
Choose a dry, mild day. Peel the liner, align the strip with your marks, and press firmly from the middle toward each end so no air is trapped. Give it a few days before the first wash. The Installation tab has every step.
Ongoing care
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel. Skip abrasive pads, steel wool, and heavy compounds that would haze the mirror face.
Ordering tip
If you think you will want the deck accent later, ordering both now means one prep session and one install. It also lets you compare them first.

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.
