Product Description
Chevrolet Impala 2014-2020 Trunk Accent, 0.875-Inch Stainless, Not for the Limited (RD54135)
The first thing to check on RD54135 is the badge. It fits the Chevrolet Impala sedan from 2014 through 2020, but the fitment says it does not fit the Limited. The strip itself is 0.875 inch wide, one piece of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, with 3M tape.
The Limited exclusion
Every part linked to this Impala record carries the same "Does not fit the Limited" note. If your Impala is badged Limited, none of these listings are for your car; call to ask what is.
Years
2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. 4-door sedan.
Rear trim
- LP54135, a license plate bezel
- RB54135, a rear bumper trim accent, 2.5 inches wide
Wheel wells at the same width
Both wheel well sets match this strip's 0.875 inch. WQ54135 has four pieces cut to fit with a rocker kit; WQ54136 has six full-length pieces with the rear trim segmented into two. TH54135, the eight-piece lower rocker kit, runs 3 to 4.375 inches from the door bottom up, and is the kit the cut-to-fit set is meant to meet.
Door handles and mirrors
Three eight-piece door handle cover kits are listed: DH54135, DH54135B, and DH54137B, the last noted for cars with four smart key handles. Mirror covers come as MC54135, a snap-on replacement set, or MC54136, a two-piece cover set.
And more
HL54135 head light accent trim, GC54135 gas door cover trim, and PP54135 and PP54136 pillar kits in four and six pieces.
Steel and tape
The 0.875" Impala accent is polished 26-gauge 304 stainless, mounted over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Chevrolet.
A slim line
Seven-eighths of an inch reads as a fine accent rather than a broad band. For contrast, the bumper accent below it is 2.5 inches. Tape out both widths on the car to see how the two levels look together.
Prep
Wash, dry, and wipe the strip's path with a residue-free cleaner until the cloth comes back clean. A narrow strip has a small tape area, so thorough cleaning matters. Repair any lifting clearcoat.
Install
Liner on, set it by the photos, measure from both ends to the lid edges, and mark with painter's tape. A thin strip shows any slant, so check from directly behind. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the center out. The Installation tab covers it in full.
Care
Let the Impala accent sit a few days before washing; mild soap and a soft cloth after.
What it is
Decorative trim for the trunk lid. It doesn't replace a factory part, and the trunk works as before.
Why stainless
The Impala accent is solid 304 with no plating, so a light scuff shows the same steel.
Before ordering
Check the badge first, then the year. If you buy door handle covers, know whether your car has smart key handles.

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.
