Product Description
2014-2019 Cadillac CTS Sedan Side Molding Accent, 4-Piece Polished Stainless (AT54250)
For the 2014-2019 Cadillac CTS sedan, QAA offers one of the largest trim catalogs of any car it supports, and AT54250 is the piece that puts a clean line of steel along the doors. It is a four-piece body side molding accent in polished stainless steel, 1" wide, made for the 4-door CTS sedan. One strip per door section keeps the look restrained and elegant, which suits a car where you want a subtle accent rather than a heavy one.
A simple, four-piece kit
This kit keeps things uncomplicated: four pieces at one inch wide, cut by QAA for this sedan, with no special pieces to sort out and no cutting. The catalog does not list individual lengths, so check the product photos for the arrangement on the car.
Material
Every strip is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror shine. There is no chrome plating, so the shine is the steel itself and will not lift or flake the way a coating can. Grade 304 is one of the most common stainless steels for exterior trim, and 26 gauge refers to the thickness of the sheet.
Installation
QAA pre-applies 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape to each piece, and the trim installs directly over the existing surface of the doors. No drilling is needed and nothing on the car is removed. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the paint. Clean and dry the doors, hold each strip in position to check that the line is level, then peel and press. Firm pressure along the full length of each strip helps the tape bond. The Installation tab has the steps in order.
The rest of the CTS catalog
There is a lot to choose from for this sedan. QAA lists:
- Pillar post kits in four and six pieces, plus long versions of each, PP54444 and PP54445. QAA asks buyers to refer to the accompanying image on the long versions.
- Four lower rocker kits, TH54250 through TH54253.
- Several window trim packages, three wheel well accent options, and a front grille accent.
- A gas door cover, a license plate bezel, a two-piece license bar extension, and a rear bumper accent.
Pairing the side accent with one of the rocker kits gives the car two bright lines. Every part is linked from the Fitment tab.
Fitment
Listed for the 4-door CTS sedan across six years: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The Fitment tab shows the row exactly as QAA catalogs it. Other CTS years are not part of this listing, so confirm your model year in your records if you are not certain.
Choosing companion pieces
With this many options, it helps to decide on the overall look first, such as doors only, doors plus rockers, or a full window package, then pick parts to match.

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.
