Product Description
Lincoln Town Car 2003-2011 Rear Bumper Trim in Polished 304 Stainless (RB43680)
This is the later of QAA's two Town Car rear bumper pieces. RB43680 is one mirror-polished stainless steel trim strip for the Lincoln Town Car 4-door sedan from 2003 through 2011. It is made in the USA and mounts with 3M tape over the bumper as it is.
Check your year first
Because QAA lists a different rear bumper trim for earlier Town Cars, the model year decides which one you need. This record covers 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. If your sedan is older than 2003, this is not the right listing.
Nine years on one part
A single record spanning nine model years makes ordering simple for anyone with a later Town Car: there is just one rear bumper option for the whole run. The catalog does not split it by trim level, so every 4-door sedan in that range is covered by the same listing.
The one linked companion
Only WZ43680 is linked to this car in the QAA catalog. It is a four-piece wheel well fender trim molding with a listed width of 1.75 inches. Fitting it puts polished steel around the wheel openings as well as across the back; check its listing for the finish.
What rear bumper trim does
It is a decorative strip that adheres to the bumper cover as a band of bright metal. It is not a structural part, and nothing on the bumper is cut or replaced.
Metal and finish
26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The brightness comes from polishing the steel itself, not from a plated layer, so there is nothing to blister or peel.
Mounting method
The Town Car bumper trim fits over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Lincoln.
Surface prep matters most
Big sedans like this are often well waxed, and tape will not bond to wax. Wash the bumper, dry it, and wipe the mounting zone with a residue-free cleaner until a clean cloth comes away with nothing on it. If the paint under the strip is cracked or lifting, repair it before installing.
Setting it in place
Start with a dry-fit, liner still attached, using the product photos as a guide. Measure from each end of the strip to the nearest bumper corner and adjust until the numbers match. Mark the position with painter's tape. On a dry, mild day, peel the liner and press the trim down firmly, starting in the middle and moving outward. Give it a few days before washing. The Installation tab has the complete procedure.
Looking after it
Wash by hand with mild soap and dry with a soft microfiber towel. Do not use abrasive pads, steel wool, or heavy cutting compounds on the mirror face, since they leave fine scratches.
Quick checklist
Sedan, 2003 to 2011, clean paint, careful measurements before the liner comes off.

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.
