Product Description
Buick LaCrosse 2010-2013 Rear Bumper Trim, 2.5-Inch Polished Stainless (RB50520)
RB50520 is a one-piece rear bumper trim for the Buick LaCrosse 4-door sedan, model years 2010 to 2013. QAA lists it at 2.5 inches wide. It is cut from 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, made in the USA, and attaches with 3M tape.
The width, in context
Two and a half inches is a substantial band on a bumper. It is wider than the matching rear deck accent, which is listed at 1.5 inches, so the bumper piece will be the bolder of the two when both are installed. No length is given in the data; the product photos show the shape.
Years covered
2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, for the 4-door sedan.
Two companions, both at the rear
The linked QAA list for this LaCrosse is short and entirely rear-focused:
- RD50520, a rear deck accent, 1.5 inches wide
- LP50520, a license plate bezel
That makes it easy to plan a complete rear: deck accent on the trunk, bezel around the plate, and this trim on the bumper; check each listing for its finish.
What it is
Bright stainless trim that bonds to the rear bumper cover. It is cosmetic, and nothing on the bumper is removed.
Metal
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror polished. The shine is the steel, so it cannot flake like a plated part.
Tape
The 2.5" LaCrosse strip attaches over the existing bumper surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the Buick.
A wider strip means more prep
The tape on a 2.5-inch piece touches a lot of bumper, so the entire footprint must be clean. Wash and dry, then wipe the whole area with a residue-free cleaner. Old wax is the most common reason tape fails to bond on a sedan of this age, so be thorough. Repair chips first.
Installation order
If you are doing all three rear pieces, mount the deck accent and bezel first. Then dry-fit this trim with the liner on, measure from both ends to the bumper corners, and mark the line with masking tape. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the center outward, working across the full width of the strip so the edges seat firmly. Hold off on washing for a few days. See the Installation tab.
Keeping the finish
Hand wash with mild soap, dry with a soft towel, and avoid abrasives. A wide mirror surface shows fine scratches more than a thin one.
Two widths, one look
Because the bumper trim is a full inch wider than the deck accent, the eye reads the pair as a heavier line low on the car and a lighter one above it. Check the deck accent's listing for its finish; the width is the difference the data shows.
Why order the set together
Ordering the deck accent and bezel along with this trim lets you prep the rear once and see every piece in place before any liner comes off. It also lets you check that all three finishes match.

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.
