Product Description
Cadillac CT6 2016-2018 License Bar Extension Trim, 1.5" Wide (LB56230)
LB56230 gives you two numbers to work with, which is more than most extension listings do: two pieces, and 1.5" wide. It is a License Bar Extension Trim in polished stainless steel for the Cadillac CT6 4-door sedan, model years 2016 through 2018.
Construction and mounting
Both pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install directly over the existing surface, with no drilling and no fasteners. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Layout: let the photos lead
The catalog doesn't describe what the extension extends or exactly where each piece sits. The product photos do show it, and they're the plan to follow. Compare them to the trunk of your CT6. If the area around your plate looks different, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with LB56230 before ordering.
Two widths on the same car
The CT6 list also includes RD56230, a one-piece part cataloged as Rear Deck Accent at 0.75". That is half the width of this extension. The catalog doesn't describe where RD56230 sits relative to these pieces, so if you're thinking of both, compare the two listings' photos together and picture a 1.5" band next to a 0.75" one. Make that call with the photos in front of you.
Install
Prep the whole area: soap and water, a full dry, then rubbing alcohol. Look for chips or dealer-badge residue and deal with them first. With liners on, place both pieces as in the photos. Measure from each piece to the plate edges so the spacing matches. Check level from behind the car; at 1.5", a tilt is easy to see. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Fix one piece, then align the second to it, and press both firmly along their length. Press again a minute later. Close the trunk gently for the first day. The Installation tab has the temperature range.
Other CT6 parts
LP56230 is a one-piece license plate bezel that frames the plate itself, and HL56230 is a two-piece head light accent trim for the front. Check each listing's photos for finish before combining parts.
Confirm your CT6
Three model years, 2016 to 2018, 4-door sedan. Check that the CT6 falls inside that span.
Seeing 1.5" before you buy
An inch and a half is a substantial band of polished metal. To get a feel for it, hold a tape measure flat against the trunk near the plate and look at that width from where someone behind the car would stand. Then look again at the photos. Between the two, you'll have a fair idea of how the pair will look on your CT6.
Why two pieces
The catalog gives the count but not the reason. Plan for a careful dry fit, since both pieces need to match in spacing and height for the result to look deliberate.
Care
Mild soap and water with a soft towel. Avoid scouring pads and gritty polish.

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.
