Product Description
Cadillac CT6 2016-2018 Rear Deck Accent, 0.75-Inch Polished Stainless (RD56230)
RD56230 is a three-quarter-inch rear deck accent for the Cadillac CT6 sedan, model years 2016, 2017, and 2018. It's one piece of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and it goes on over the existing paint with 3M tape.
CT6 fitment
4-door sedan, three model years: 2016 to 2018. Check your registration before ordering, since the window is short.
The license bar extension
One linked part stands out: LB56230, a two-piece license bar extension trim, 1.5 inches wide. That is twice the width of this trunk strip. The data doesn't describe exactly where the two extension pieces sit, so look at the photos to see how they relate to the plate and the trunk accent.
Rest of the CT6 list
- LP56230, a one-piece license plate bezel
- HL56230, a two-piece head light accent trim
The bezel joins the license bar and this accent at the rear; the head light trim is the front-end option.
A fine line
0.75 inch is a narrow, precise accent. Cut painter's tape to three-quarters of an inch and place it where the photos show the strip to judge the look on your car.
Steel
26-gauge 304 stainless, polished to a mirror. There's no chrome plating to lift at the edges.
Tape
For the CT6, the 0.75" strip goes on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and nothing else. QAA states that this tape will hold for a lifetime and leave the sedan unmarked.
Lid prep
A narrow strip has little tape area, so prep thoroughly. Wash and dry the trunk. Wipe the footprint with a residue-free cleaner, then repeat with a fresh cloth until it comes away clean. If you have a ceramic coating or paint film on the lid, call before installing.
Order of work at the rear
If you're fitting the license bar extension and bezel too, dry-fit everything with liners on first. Mount the trunk accent, then the bar pieces, then the bezel, checking spacing from behind after each.
Alignment and pressing
With the liner on, measure from each end of the strip to the lid edges and mark with painter's tape. A thin line shows any slant. On a dry, mild day, peel and press from the center outward. The Installation tab lists every step.
Care
Wait a few days before washing; then mild soap and a soft cloth. Skip rubbing compounds and abrasive pads, and dry the lid after rinsing so water doesn't sit along the strip's edges.
What it is
Decorative trim for the trunk; it doesn't replace any factory part.
Why stainless
Solid 304 stainless keeps its look under a light scuff, since the polish is the metal itself rather than a plated layer.
No side trim linked
The CT6 record links no pillar, rocker, or wheel well parts. If you'd like trim along the sides, call and ask what's available.
Before ordering
Confirm the year, try the tape preview, and decide whether you want the license bar extension and bezel for a complete rear.

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.
