Product Description
Kia Optima 2001-2006 Three-Piece Trunk Accent, 3.8 Inches Wide, Stainless (RD24805)
RD24805 is a three-piece rear deck accent for the Kia Optima 4-door sedan, model years 2001 through 2006. Its listed width is 3.8 inches, a large figure for a trunk accent. All three pieces are polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and fitted with 3M tape.
Three pieces, layout not described
The catalog says three pieces but does not describe where each one sits on the lid or whether the 3.8-inch figure applies to one piece or the whole set. The product photos are the best way to understand the arrangement; call if anything is unclear.
Six model years
2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, sedan body. The registration or door jamb label shows your year. QAA lists a one-piece accent for a later Optima separately, so confirm your year.
A matching rocker width
TH24805, the eight-piece rocker set, is also listed at 3.8 inches. It installs below the door and also spans up from the bottom of the door. With both, the sides and the back share the same broad width.
The rest of the lineup
- LP24805, license plate bezel
- PP24805 and PP24806, pillar kits in four and six pieces
- WP24805, a 12-piece window package with upper trim and pillar posts, no window sills
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror polished. No plating to flake.
Mounting
On the Optima, the three pieces mount over the existing surface using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, it will hold for a lifetime and leave the Kia unharmed.
Older paint
An Optima from these years can have tired paint on the trunk, so inspect it. Wash, dry, and wipe the whole area the pieces will cover with a residue-free cleaner. Wide trim needs sound paint across its full footprint, so repair any peeling clearcoat first.
Fitting three pieces
Lay all three on the lid with the liners on and match the photos. Mark each position with painter's tape, step back to look at the whole lid, and check the gaps between pieces so they look even. Install one piece at a time on a dry, mild day, pressing from its center outward, and recheck the next against the one already set.
Care
Wait a few days to wash. Mild soap and a soft cloth. With three pieces, check each seam after the first wash to make sure the edges are still pressed down, and press again by hand if needed.
Why stainless
Polished 304 stainless has no plating, so the finish is the metal itself. The bezel, pillar kits, window package, and rocker set for this Optima each show their finish on their own listing; check them before combining.
Before ordering
Confirm your year and sedan body, look at the photos of the three-piece layout, and inspect the trunk paint. If you want the matching 3.8-inch rocker set, order both so the prep happens once.

Installation tips: Rear Deck Accent
- Unpack all 3 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- 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.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
