Product Description
2004-2008 Nissan Maxima Trunk Accent, 2.1-Inch Polished Stainless (RD24540)
RD24540 is a one-piece rear deck accent for the Nissan Maxima 4-door sedan from 2004 through 2008. At 2.1 inches wide it is a generous strip. It is 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish, made in the USA, and it mounts over the existing surface with 3M tape.
Five years covered
2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, sedan body only. A Maxima from another year has its own parts, so confirm yours on the registration first.
Just over two inches
The width itself is not the point; the point is that this is a broad band of polish that reads clearly on the trunk. The catalog has no length, so check the photos for the span.
Two license plate options
This Maxima's rear lineup has both LP24540, a one-piece license plate bezel, and LPS24540, a two-piece license plate surround trim. The data does not explain how the two differ beyond the piece count, so compare their photos or call.
Logo decals
SGR24540 is a two-piece "MAXIMA" logo decal set. SGR24541 is the "MAXIMA SE" version, listed for the SE.
Windows and pillars
- WP24540, 14 pieces: upper trim, window sills, and pillar posts
- WP24545, four pieces: upper trim only
- WS24540, a four-piece window sill set
- PP24540 and PP24541, pillar kits in four and six pieces
Sides
MC24540 is a two-piece mirror cover set. TH24540 is a four-piece side molding insert kit, 1.18 inches wide. WQ24540 is a four-piece wheel well accent, and GC24540 is the gas door cover.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless, polished. The finish is solid metal with no plating.
Mounting
The Maxima's 2.1" accent attaches using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the trunk lid.
Old paint, wide strip
On a car of this age, a strip this wide needs sound paint under its whole footprint. Wash, dry, and wipe with a residue-free cleaner to remove old wax. Fix flaking clearcoat or chips before you start.
Lining it up
Leave the liner on and set the strip against the photos. Measure from each end to the lid edges and lay painter's tape along the line. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the center outward, smoothing both long edges. The Installation tab covers each step.
Care
Wait a few days before washing. Mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid compounds, and dry the trunk after a wash so water does not spot the mirror face.
Planning the rear
Decide on the license plate piece first, the bezel or the surround, since it sits just below this strip. Fit the trunk accent, then center the license piece under it. If you are fitting the logo decals, place them last so they can be spaced against the finished trim.
Why stainless
Check each part linked to this Maxima for its finish before buying it later.

Installation tips: Rear Deck 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.
