Five LaCrosse years
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, sedan. Check the registration for your year; a LaCrosse from a later year is not covered by this listing.
Width that matches a rocker kit
TH45520, an eight-piece lower rocker kit spanning up from the bottom of the door, is also 3.5 inches wide. Pair the two and the sides and the back share the same broad width. TH45521 is a second eight-piece lower kit at 6 inches for those who want even more coverage on the doors.

No rear companions
No bezel or bumper accent is linked to this LaCrosse in the data. The trunk strip is the rear piece, so it carries the whole look at the back of the car. That is one reason its width matters: at 3.5 inches it reads clearly on its own.
What a deck accent is
A rear deck accent is a decorative band of bright metal applied to the trunk. It does not replace a factory part.
The steel
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror polished. With no plating, the broad face is solid metal throughout.
The tape
The 3.5" LaCrosse accent mounts on the existing trunk lid with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Buick.
Older paint, broad strip
Three and a half inches of tape needs a lot of sound paint. Wash and dry the trunk, then use a residue-free cleaner across the full band. On a LaCrosse of this age, fix fading or flaking clearcoat before you start.
Placement
With the liner on, set the strip where the photos show it. Measure each end to the lid edges and tape both long edges with painter's tape. Step back and look. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the center out, then along both edges.
Care
Wait a few days before washing. Mild soap and a soft cloth. A wide mirror face shows water spots, so dry the lid after each wash. After the first wash, press the edges once more by hand.
Choosing between the rocker kits
If you want the sides to echo the trunk, TH45520 at 3.5 inches is the direct match. TH45521 at 6 inches covers much more of each door. The photos of both help you decide how much metal suits the car.
Why stainless
Polished 304 stainless has no plated layer. The roof insert, door sills, fender moldings, and rocker kits for this LaCrosse each show their finish on their own listing.
Before ordering
Confirm the year and sedan body, and inspect the trunk paint.

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.
