Product Description
Toyota Avalon 2013-2018 Rear Bumper Accent, Polished 304 Stainless (RB13165)
RB13165 puts a single bright line across the rear bumper of the Avalon. This one-piece rear bumper accent is listed for the 4-door Toyota Avalon sedan from 2013 through 2018, cut from mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and mounted with 3M tape.
Six model years
2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, 4-door sedan. The catalog keeps the whole span on one record.
The rear of the Avalon, dressed up
Several QAA kits for this sedan sit at the rear, close to where this accent goes:
- RD13165, a rear deck accent
- TR13165, a five-piece tail light ring accent set
- LP13165, a license plate bezel
- GC13165, a gas door cover
The tail light rings and rear deck accent in particular frame the same view as the bumper strip, so many owners treat them as a set.
Pillar and side options
Four pillar kits are linked to this Avalon, and they differ in a way the data actually spells out: PP13165 has four pieces, PP13166 has six, PP13167 has eight and includes a rear triangle piece, and PP13168 has ten and includes a front triangle piece. There is also TH13165, a four-piece side molding insert kit, and WQ13165 wheel well trim.
What this part does
A rear bumper accent adheres to the bumper cover and lays a strip of polished metal across the back of the car. It does not alter or replace the bumper.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror polished, with no plating that could flake.
Mounting
The Avalon bumper accent sits over the existing surface on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime and cause no harm to the Toyota.
Preparation
A large sedan's rear bumper collects road film just like any other. Wash and dry it, then wipe the mounting area with a residue-free cleaner. Touch up chips before installing.
Installation steps
- Wait for a dry, mild day.
- Hold the accent in place with its liner on, using the photos as a guide.
- Measure each end against the bumper during the dry-fit until it sits where the photos show.
- Mark the line with masking tape.
- Peel the liner and press firmly from the center outward.
- Avoid washing for a few days.
The Installation tab has more detail.
Care
Mild soap, a soft towel, and no abrasive pads.
Why polished stainless at the rear
The back of a sedan takes road spray, exhaust, and plenty of washing. A strip with no plating has nothing to wear through, so the mirror face stays consistent with basic care. If you fit the tail light rings or rear deck accent as well, check each of those listings for its finish before you order them.
Before ordering
Confirm the year on your registration and that the car is the Avalon sedan. If either is uncertain, a quick call clears it up.

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.
