Product Description
Nissan Altima 2013-2015 Rear Bumper Accent, 2.5-Inch Wide Stainless (RB13550)
RB13550 has a listed width of 2.5 inches, the detail that sets it apart on this page. It is a single piece of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel listed for the 4-door Nissan Altima sedan from 2013 through 2015, made in the USA and mounted with 3M tape.
The 2.5-inch width
Width is the one dimension the catalog records for this accent. A broader strip reads more boldly from behind the car than a slim one. No length is listed, so look at the product photos to see how the piece follows the bumper.
Fitment
Nissan Altima, 4-door sedan: 2013, 2014, and 2015. Earlier or later Altimas are not on this record.
Linked Altima trim
QAA links these kits to the same sedan:
- BC13550, a two-piece bumper cap accent
- LP13550, a license plate bezel
- AT13550, a four-piece body side molding accent
- TH13551, a two-piece rocker panel kit that installs below the door
- WQ13550, wheel well accent trim
The bumper cap accent and license plate bezel are the closest companions if you want more brightwork near the rear bumper.
Plain explanation
A rear bumper accent is decorative trim that adheres to the bumper cover. The bumper stays as it is; nothing is removed.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The finish is the metal itself, so there is no plating to peel.
Tape
The 2.5" Altima accent mounts on the existing bumper surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Nissan.
Wider strip, more tape contact
A wider accent means more adhesive surface, which also means more area that has to be clean. Wash and dry the bumper, then wipe the full footprint of the strip with a residue-free cleaner. Any wax or dressing left in that area can keep part of the tape from bonding.
Install
On a dry, mild day, dry-fit the accent with its liner on and match its position to the photos. Measure from each end to the bumper edges and mark the line with masking tape. Peel the liner and press firmly across the full width and length, starting at the center. Skip washing for a few days. The Installation tab has full steps.
Care
Mild soap and a soft cloth. No scouring pads; a broad mirror surface shows scratches readily.
Why a wider accent
Some owners prefer a slim pinstripe of brightwork; others want something that is visible from a distance in traffic. A wider polished strip falls into the second camp, giving the rear bumper a clear horizontal highlight. If you are unsure whether the width suits your taste, the photos show it on the car, and you can always call to talk it through.
Before ordering
Check that your Altima is the sedan and that its year is 2013, 2014, or 2015. Call if you are unsure.

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.
