Product Description
Kia Forte Sedan 2010-2013 Rear Deck Accent, 1.125-Inch Stainless Strip (RD10810)
RD10810 is a single 1.125-inch-wide strip of mirror-polished stainless steel for the trunk lid of the Kia Forte 4-door sedan, model years 2010 through 2013. It is made in the USA from 304 stainless and goes on with 3M tape.
Fitment
The 4-door sedan for 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. The record does not list any other body style.
Pick the right license bar to go with it
The most useful detail in this Forte's lineup is the license bar choice. Both bars sit above the plate and both are listed at 1.8125 inches wide, but they differ on one point:
- LB10810 does not include key access
- LB10811 includes key access
If your trunk has a key cylinder in the area above the plate, the key-access version is the one to look at. If you are unsure, compare both sets of photos with your car before ordering.
Proportions at the rear
This deck accent at 1.125 inches is the slimmer of the two horizontal pieces; the license bar is wider at 1.8125. LP10810, the license plate bezel, is listed at 8.25 inches. Put together, the trunk carries a thin polished line, a broader bar above the plate, and a frame around it.
Side and window kits
TH10811 is a two-piece on-the-rocker kit at 1.25 inches, and TH10810 is a six-piece on-the-rocker kit at 2.5 inches; both install below the door. WQ10810 wheel well trim is 0.75 inches. For the windows, WP10810 is a ten-piece package with upper trim and pillar posts but no sills, and WP10811 is upper trim only. PP10810 and PP10811 are the four- and six-piece pillar kits.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel. The mirror finish is polished into the metal, so there is no plating to flake.
Mounting
For the Forte, the 1.125" accent fits on the existing surface using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, it will hold for a lifetime without harming the Kia.
Prep on an older sedan
Ten-plus years of washing and waxing leave a film that tape will not grip. Wash the trunk lid, dry it, and wipe the mounting area twice with a residue-free cleaner. Check the clear coat where the strip will sit; peeling or chalky paint should be repaired first.
Install
Dry-fit the strip with its liner on, matching the photos. Measure from each end to the trunk lid edges and mark with masking tape. If the license bar is going on too, install it first and use it to confirm that the deck accent is centered. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the middle outward. Wait a few days to wash. See the Installation tab.
Care
Mild soap and a soft cloth. Skip abrasive pads, which leave fine scratches on a mirror finish.
Why stainless
Check the bar and bezel listings for their finish if you want all three to look alike.

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.
