Product Description
Toyota Prius C 2012-2019 Polished Stainless License Bar (LB12705)
The space directly above a rear license plate tends to be a plain, flat stretch of the hatch that nobody notices. LB12705 is a single strip of polished 304 stainless steel cut for that spot on the Toyota Prius C, and it gives the back of the car one bright horizontal line where there was none. It is a one-piece part, cataloged as a License Bar, Above plate accent Trim, and it is made in the USA from 26-gauge stock with a mirror polish.
Fitment is a single row: the Prius C 4-door hatchback, model years 2012 through 2019. That is eight model years on one listing, and nothing else is tagged to this part number. If the badge on your hatch reads Prius C, you are in the right place. The Prius C row for this trim is 2012-2019.
What the listing doesn't say
There is no width figure and no note about cutouts, key access or a camera opening on this sheet. We would rather say that plainly than fill the gap with a guess. The product photos show the bar's shape and how it sits above the plate, and they are the best reference. Hold your phone up to the photos next to your own hatch and compare. If anything on your car sits in that space that the photos don't show, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering and mention LB12705.
How it attaches
The bar mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes directly over the existing surface. There are no holes to drill and nothing to unbolt. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The Installation tab covers surface prep and temperature, and the Specs tab lists the UPC.
A one-piece job
Because it is a single part, the only thing to get right is the line. Wash the area, wipe it with rubbing alcohol and let it dry completely. Hold the bar in place with the liner still on and look at it from a few steps behind the car, not from right above it. When it looks centered over the plate, put two short pieces of painter's tape on the hatch at each end as markers. Peel the liner, line the ends up with your marks, and press firmly from the middle out to both ends. Leave the hatch shut for the rest of the day if you can.
Building out the Prius C
Eleven other QAA parts are cross-listed for this hatchback. Pillar post kits come in four, six, eight, ten and twelve pieces. TH12705 is a four-piece lower rocker kit at 1.5" that sits on the doors only. GC12705 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. WS12705, RD12705, LP12705 and RB12705 are also listed for the car; this sheet names them by number only, so open each listing for its type and details. Pick the pieces you want, and check every listing's photos for its finish before you combine them.

Installation tips: License Bar, Above plate accent Trim
- 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.
