Product Description
2016-2017 Honda Accord Sedan Rear Bumper Accent, One Polished Piece (RB16281)
RB16281 has a short fitment window: just two model years of the Honda Accord 4-door sedan, 2016 and 2017. Within that window, it is a single mirror-polished 304 stainless steel accent for the rear bumper. The piece is made in the USA and installs with 3M tape.
Two years only
Because the record covers only 2016 and 2017, it is worth checking your registration before you go any further. An Accord from a neighboring year is not on this listing, and the coupe is not listed either.
A note about Sport models
This bumper accent's own record carries no Sport exclusion. Two of the linked side kits do: TH16282, the on-the-rocker kit, and WQ16281, the wheel well trim, are both noted as not fitting the Sport model. If you own a Sport and plan to order those pieces as well, read their pages carefully or call first.

What it is
A rear bumper accent is a strip of polished stainless that adheres to the bumper cover and brings brightwork to the back of the sedan. It is decorative and does not change the bumper.
Material and mounting
26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished, mounting with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. It fits over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Clean before you stick
Wash the rear bumper and let it dry. Wipe the mounting area with a residue-free cleaner to remove wax and road film, and fix any chipped paint in that spot. Tape bonds only to a clean, sound surface.
Installation
On a dry, mild day, hold the accent in place with its liner still on and match the position in the product photos. Measure from each end of the strip to the bumper edges, adjust until they match, and mark the line with masking tape. Peel the liner and press firmly from the center outward. Avoid washing for a few days so the bond can settle. The Installation tab has the complete steps.
Care
Hand wash with mild soap and dry with a soft towel. Keep abrasive pads off the polished face.
Pairing at the rear
The rear deck accent and license plate bezel sit on the same end of the car. Installing them together with this strip gives the back of the Accord a coordinated look; check each listing for its finish.
Before ordering
Confirm the year is 2016 or 2017 and that the car is the 4-door sedan. If you are unsure about trim level, call before ordering.

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.
