Product Description
Honda Civic Sedan 2012-2015 Rear Bumper Accent, Mirror Stainless (RB12214)
If you have already looked at QAA's Civic trim, you know there is a lot of it. RB12214 is the rear bumper piece in that lineup: one mirror-polished 304 stainless steel accent for the 4-door Honda Civic sedan, model years 2012 through 2015, made in the USA and mounted with 3M tape.
Sedan, not coupe
The record lists only the 4-door sedan. QAA catalogs a separate two-piece pillar kit, PP12212, for the Civic coupe of this era, but this bumper accent is not listed for the coupe. If you drive the two-door, call before ordering.
Years
2012, 2013, 2014, 2015.
Trim that shares the back of the car
Three linked kits live near the rear bumper and make sensible companions:
- RD12214, a rear deck accent
- LP12214, a license plate bezel
- GC12214, a gas door cover
The rest of the Civic lineup
Further forward, QAA links HL12214 headlight accents (which adhere to the front bumper beneath the headlights), WQ12214 wheel well trim, TH12214 and TH12215 rocker kits, and several pillar and window options: PP12214, PP12215, and PP12216 pillar kits, plus WP12214, WP12215, and WP12216 window trim packages. The window packages differ in whether they include pillar posts and sills, so read each listing.
What this part is
A rear bumper accent is a strip of polished steel that adheres to the rear bumper cover for a bright detail at the back. Nothing is cut.
Stainless through and through
26 gauge, 304 grade, mirror polished. No plating sits on top, so there is nothing to peel.
Holding it in place
The Civic bumper accent sits over the existing surface on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Honda.
Ready the bumper
Soap and water first, then a full dry. Follow with a residue-free wipe on the mounting area to lift wax and exhaust film. Chipped paint should be touched up before the accent goes on.
Placing it
Pick a dry, mild day. Hold the accent up with the liner on and line it up using the product photos. Stand behind the car and check that both ends sit at the same height; a strip of painter's tape marks the line for you. Peel, set, and press firmly, starting in the middle and working outward. Let it sit a few days before you wash the car. The Installation tab covers each step.
Looking after it
Mild soap and a soft cloth keep the mirror bright. Skip abrasive pads.
One piece, one chance to center it
Because the accent is a single strip, it has no partner to balance against. Take a tape measure to each end during the dry-fit, check the strip against fixed points on the bumper, and only peel the liner once it sits where you want it. A minute spent measuring saves a crooked result you would see every time you walk up to the car.

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.
