Product Description
Kia Optima 2011-2015 Rear Deck Accent, 1.5-Inch Polished Stainless (RD11805)
RD11805 is a one-piece rear deck accent for the Kia Optima 4-door sedan, 2011 through 2015, listed at 1.5 inches wide. It is cut from 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, made in the USA, and it installs with 3M tape over the existing surface.
Years
2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, 4-door sedan.
Deck and bumper, sized to pair
RB11805 is the rear bumper accent for this Optima, listed at 1.25 inches. With this deck accent at 1.5 inches, the two are close in width, so the trunk lid and bumper get a pair of lines with the upper one slightly bolder. LP11805, a license plate bezel, sits between them, and GC11805 covers the gas door.
Grille note: SX only
SG11805, the front grille accent, is marked "SX Model only." Everything else in this Optima's linked list is for the sedan in general, including this deck accent.
Porthole trim
PB11805 is a two-piece porthole accent listed as the surround ring only, with no center strip.
Sides and windows
- TH11806, a two-piece on-the-rocker kit, 1.25 inches
- TH11805, a four-piece lower kit, 0.75 inches, on the doors only
- WQ11805, a four-piece wheel well accent, 0.75 inches
- WS11805, a six-piece sill set
- PP11805 and PP11806, four- and six-piece pillar kits
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror finish. No plating means nothing to peel over time.
Mounting
The 1.5" Optima strip mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the trunk lid.
Prep
Wash the trunk lid and dry it. Wipe the mounting area with a residue-free cleaner. On a sedan from these years, wax buildup is a real risk, so do a second wipe. Fix any chips in the area before installing.
Lining up the rear pair
If both the deck and bumper accents are going on, install the deck accent first. Dry-fit with its liner on, measure from each end to the trunk lid edges, and mark with masking tape. Then use it as a guide to center the bumper strip below.
Applying
On a dry, mild day, peel the liner, set the accent on your marks, and press from the center out. Avoid washing for a few days. The Installation tab has the full steps.
Care
Mild soap and a soft towel; avoid abrasives on the mirror face.
Why order the pair together
Since the deck and bumper accents are close in width, they read as a set. Buying both at once means one prep session for the whole rear, and you can see the two lines side by side during the dry-fit before any liner comes off. Fit the bezel at the same time if you want the plate framed as well.
Stainless throughout
This strip is polished 304 stainless with no plated layer; check each linked Optima listing for its 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.
