Product Description
Cadillac CTS Sedan 2014-2019 Spoiler Accent Trim, Polished Stainless (RT54250)
RT54250 is filed by QAA as tailgate accent trim, but it's for a sedan: the Cadillac CTS, 4-door, model years 2014 through 2019. The note on the record calls it a "Spoiler Accent," so on this car the piece goes with the rear spoiler area rather than a pickup tailgate.
Reading the record
The category name comes from QAA's catalog, and the note is what tells you where it actually goes. The data doesn't list a width, a length, or which surface of the spoiler it attaches to, and it doesn't say whether every CTS sedan in those years has the same spoiler. Before ordering, compare the product photos with the back of your car. If anything looks different, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Material
For the CTS sedan, the accent is one piece of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror-finished and made in the USA, fastens with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the existing surface. QAA states the tape keeps hold for a lifetime without damaging the Cadillac.
A rear set to match
The record links a long list of CTS trim. For the rear of the car alone there is RB54250 rear bumper accent, LB54250 license bar extension, and LP54250 license plate bezel. Along the sides there are AT54250 body side accents, the PP54250 and PP54251 pillar kits, the long-version PP54444 and PP54445 pillar kits, four rocker options from TH54250 to TH54253, and the WP54250 window package, plus GC54250 gas door cover trim. Check each listing for its finish if you want everything to match.
Preparing the spoiler
Spoiler surfaces can be curved and sometimes textured. Make sure the area under the accent is smooth paint in good condition. Wash and dry, then wipe with a residue-free cleaner until a fresh cloth stays clean. Skip any wax or sealant beforehand.
Setting it in place
Dry-fit with the liner on and match the photos exactly. Use painter's tape to mark the position shown in the photos before peeling. Peel the liner gradually, starting from one end, and press firmly along the length, especially where the surface curves. A dry, mild day helps. More in the Installation tab.
Once it's on
Give it a few days before washing. Then mild soap and a soft cloth. The finish is polished 304 steel, not chrome plating.
Why order it with the rear pieces
If you plan to fit the bumper accent, license bar or bezel too, installing them in one session lets you judge spacing between the parts while they are all still on painter's tape. Small shifts are easy before the liners come off and hard after. Start with the highest piece and work down.

Installation tips: Tailgate Accent 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.
