RD51575 gives the Buick Regal sedan, model years 2011 to 2013, a one-inch line of mirror-polished steel across the trunk lid. It is a single piece of 304 stainless, made in the USA, and it mounts on top of the existing paint with 3M tape.
Regal fitment
Buick Regal, 4-door sedan: 2011, 2012, 2013. Three years only, so check your registration before ordering.
Paired with the fender trim
The one other part linked to this Regal record is WZ51575, a four-piece wheel well fender trim molding. Together they put trim at the wheel openings and across the back. The data gives no width for the fender molding; the photos show its shape.
One inch, exactly
A one-inch band is a balanced width: visible from behind without dominating the lid. A ruler held against the trunk, or a strip of inch-wide painter's tape, will show you how it looks.
Material
The strip is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. There's no chrome plating on it, so the finish is the same metal through its whole thickness.
Mounting method
For the Regal, 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds the accent to the trunk lid as it is, and nothing comes off. QAA states the tape holds for a lifetime without damaging the Buick's surface.
Prep, step by step
First, wash the lid with soap and water and let it dry fully. Second, wipe the strip's footprint with a residue-free cleaner. Third, wipe again with a fresh cloth and keep going until nothing comes off. Old wax is a frequent reason tape fails, so this step is worth the time. If the clearcoat is lifting, repair it first.
Positioning
Keep the liner on and hold the strip where the photos show it. Measure from each end to the edges of the lid and adjust until the two match. A piece of painter's tape along the top edge becomes your guide.
Applying
Choose a dry day, not too hot or cold. Peel the liner, line the strip up with the guide, and press from the middle toward each end with firm pressure. The Installation tab has the complete steps.
The first days
Leave it alone for a few days while the tape builds its bond. After that, wash with mild soap and a soft cloth and dry the lid.
What it brings
A deck accent is decorative. It doesn't replace a factory part or change how the trunk works; it puts one bright line on the rear.
Why stainless
Solid 304 keeps its look under a light scuff. The fender molding's listing shows its own finish.
Fitting both parts
If you order the fender molding too, do the trunk strip first while the rear is clean, then move to the wheel openings. Each part installs on its own, so you can also fit the molding later.
Order checklist
Sedan, a year from 2011 to 2013, and a width you like after the ruler test.

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.
