LB65230 is a single 1"-wide polished stainless steel license bar for the Cadillac Escalade IQ & IQL, 4-door SUV, model years 2025 and 2026. The catalog names the part License Bar Trim, and the fitment row lists the IQ and IQL together on one line.
The facts
- Part: License Bar Trim, one piece
- Width: 1"
- Material: 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA
- Mount: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface

QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Which Escalade
The listing is specific to the IQ and IQL. The Escalade IQ row is two years, so check yours. If yours reads Escalade without IQ or IQL, this listing doesn't cover it. With only two model years on the row, confirm the year too. Any doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention LB65230.
Placement
The catalog doesn't give a position note beyond the part name, and there's no note about cutouts. The product photos show where the bar sits and its shape. Compare them with your vehicle before ordering.
Matching 1" widths
RT65230, a one-piece Tailgate Accent on the same list, is also listed at 1", the name QAA gives it on its own product page. Two parts at the same width on the same vehicle; the catalog doesn't say how they sit relative to each other. If you're considering both, put their photos side by side.
Install
Wash, rinse and dry the area. Wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh cloth stays clean; a second pass removes any wax the first one missed. Hold the bar in place, liner on, and use a tape measure to center it. Check that it's level from behind. Mark both ends with painter's tape. Peel the liner, align, and press firmly from the middle out. Remove the marks and press again. Close the liftgate gently for the first day. See the Installation tab for the temperature range.
The rest of the IQ list
GC65230 is a one-piece trim cataloged as Charging Port Cover Trim. PP65230 is a four-piece pillar post kit. LP65230 is a one-piece license plate bezel that frames the plate. Check each listing's photos for finish before combining. The charging port trim's name comes straight from the catalog.
Seeing 1" in place
An inch of polished metal is a clear, defined line without being bulky. To preview it, hold a ruler flat against the liftgate near the plate and look at a one-inch band from a few steps behind the vehicle. Then compare with the product photos, which show the length and shape the catalog doesn't list.
Paint condition
Even on a recent vehicle, look over the paint where the bar will sit. Dealer stickers, residue from protective film, or small chips can all weaken the bond. Clear any residue carefully and make sure the surface is smooth and dry before installing.
Upkeep
Mild soap, water and a soft towel. No scouring pads or gritty compounds.

Installation tips: License Bar 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.
