Product Description
Honda Accord Sedan 2008-2012 Trunk Accent, 2.5-Inch Wide Stainless (RD28281)
At 2.5 inches across, RD28281 is a broad band of polish for the trunk lid of the Honda Accord 4-door sedan, model years 2008 through 2012. It is one piece of mirror-finished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and it mounts with 3M tape.
Sedan, and only the sedan
This Accord's linked list mixes in two coupe parts: DH28251, a four-piece door handle cover kit, and TH28251, a two-piece rocker on the rocker. Both are tagged for the 2-door coupe. This trunk accent is for the 4-door sedan, so make sure you are shopping the sedan pieces. Covered years: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012.
Two and a half inches
That much width gives the trunk a bold strip of metal. It also means a broad band of tape against the paint, so the condition of the lid matters more than usual. No length is published; the photos show the span.
Sedan companions
- RB28281, the matching one-piece rear bumper accent
- GC28281, a gas door cover, listed as two pieces
- DH28281, an eight-piece door handle cover kit without passenger key access
- TH28281, a two-piece rocker on the rocker, 1.25 inches wide, below the door
- WQ28281, a four-piece wheel well accent
Trunk and bumper together
Doing the deck accent and RB28281 in one sitting gives the rear two parallel lines of trim. Mount this wide strip first, since it sets the reference, then center the bumper piece below by measuring down from each end.
Built from
26-gauge 304 stainless with a mirror polish. The shine is not a plated layer, so there is nothing to flake.
Held by
The 2.5" Accord strip attaches over the existing trunk lid with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, it will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
A clean, sound lid
Accords from these years have had plenty of sun. Look closely at the clearcoat on the trunk. Wash, dry, and wipe the full 2.5-inch band plus a little margin with a residue-free cleaner. Repair any flaking or chalky spots before mounting.
Setting it
Leave the liner on and lay the strip where the photos place it. Even out the gaps from both ends to the lid edges, then run painter's tape along the top line. Look from directly behind the car. On a dry day with mild temperatures, peel and press from the middle outward, then go over both long edges with firm hand pressure. The Installation tab has full steps.
Care
Give the tape a few days before the first wash. Use gentle soap, a soft cloth, and dry the lid afterward.
Before ordering
Count your doors, confirm the year, and look over the trunk paint. If you want the bumper accent as well, order both so the rear can be laid out and dry-fit as a pair.
Why stainless
Since 304 stainless gets its mirror look from the steel, the finish stays the same through the surface. Check the bumper accent and other sedan listings for their finish.

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.
