Product Description
Cadillac CTS Sedan 2014-2019 License Bar Extension Trim, 2 Pieces (LB54250)
LB54250 is the license bar extension QAA lists for the Cadillac CTS 4-door sedan from 2014 through 2019. It's a two-piece set of polished stainless steel, and it comes with a long parts list: twenty-one other parts are cross-listed for the same sedan.
Facts from the catalog
Part name: License Bar Extension Trim. Pieces: two. Material: 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. Mount: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. Width: not listed. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Facts it leaves out
The listing doesn't explain what the pieces extend, how they're arranged, or their dimensions. We won't invent those. Use the product photos as the layout guide and compare them with your trunk. If something doesn't match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote LB54250.
Check the year range
QAA lists CTS parts by year range, and this one is only for 2014 to 2019 sedans. If your CTS is from an earlier year, or is a coupe or wagon, look for the listing that matches it. Before ordering, check your CTS's year against the listed range.
Install the pair evenly
Clean the area with soap and water, dry it, then go over it twice with rubbing alcohol. With the liners on, place both pieces according to the photos. Look from behind the car and measure each piece's distance from the plate until they match. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Fix one piece, then set the second against its marks, check the spacing once more, and press it down. Firm pressure along both, then again a minute later. Close the trunk gently for the first day. Temperature guidance is on the Installation tab.
Planning around the long list
Of the cross-listed parts, the sheet details these: AT54250, a four-piece body side molding accent at 1"; GC54250, a one-piece gas door cover trim; LP54250, a one-piece license plate bezel; PP54250 and PP54251, pillar post kits of four and six pieces; and PP54444 and PP54445, four- and six-piece pillar kits marked LONG VERSION, with a note to refer to the accompanying image. Those long-version notes apply to the pillar kits only. RB54250, RT54250, TH54250 to TH54253, WP54250, WP54251, WP54444, WP54445, WQ54250 to WQ54252 and SG54250 are named by number only here. Open each listing for its details, and check each one's photos for finish.
Where to start
With this many parts available, it can help to begin with something small. A two-piece extension at the back lets you judge how polished stainless looks on your paint before you commit to window or rocker kits. Hold both pieces in place, liners on, in daylight, and see what you think. If the bezel is going on as well, dry-fit the two together.
Paint condition
Check for chips or old adhesive where the pieces will go and clean or fix them first.
Care
Wash with mild soap and water; dry with a soft towel. Keep abrasives off the polished stainless.

Installation tips: License Bar Extension Trim
- Unpack all 2 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.
