Product Description
2013-2015 Nissan Altima Sedan Side Molding Accent, 4-Piece Polished Stainless (AT13550)
QAA built AT13550 for one car: the 4-door Nissan Altima sedan from the 2013, 2014, and 2015 model years. It's a four-piece body side molding accent in polished stainless steel, each strip 1" wide, forming a bright line along the Altima's doors. On a midsize sedan that is mostly painted sheet metal from the front wheel to the rear, a single clean accent like this gives the side view some definition.
A short fitment window
Three model years is a narrow range, so it pays to confirm yours. If you drive a 2013, 2014, or 2015 Altima sedan, you are in the catalog for this kit. Other Altima years and other body styles are not listed for AT13550. The Fitment tab shows the one row QAA catalogs, with the body style spelled out. Shopping for a used Altima or unsure of its year? Check the printed model year on the title or registration before ordering, and if it falls outside the listed span, phone us first.
What you get
Four pieces, one inch wide, cut by QAA for this car. Every strip is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished until it has a mirror finish. Because it is stainless all the way through rather than a coating, the shine belongs to the part itself. Grade 304 is the everyday workhorse of stainless steels, and the 26-gauge figure tells you the thickness of the sheet.
No drilling required
QAA ships the strips with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape already on the back. They install directly over the existing door surface of the Altima, so nothing on the car is removed or modified. QAA states that the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the surface. The usual rules for adhesive trim apply: clean, dry panels and a mild day give the tape the best start. Lay out all four pieces and check their position before you commit, then press each one firmly along its full length. The Installation tab walks through that sequence.
Pairing with other Altima trim
The QAA catalog for this sedan is smaller than for some cars, which makes planning simple. TH13551, a two-piece rocker trim 1.25" wide that goes below the doors, or WQ13550, a four-piece wheel well accent, can go on as well. There is also a two-piece bumper cap trim, a rear bumper accent, and a license plate bezel. Combining the side accent with the rocker trim gives the Altima two parallel bright lines, one on the doors and one below them. All of these are linked in the Fitment tab. Stainless steel, polished, makes up every one of the four Altima pieces.

Installation tips: Body Side Molding Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle before removing any tape liner.
- Clean and dry the mounting surface so the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds to paint or trim, not dirt or wax.
- Peel the liner, align the piece, and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface.
- 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.
