Product Description
Ford F-150 2018-2020 Tailgate Accent with NEW Eco Logo Cut Out, 4-Inch Polished Stainless (RT58308)
RT58308 is the one-piece, 4-inch member of QAA's 2018-2020 Ford F-150 tailgate accent family. The record notes it is made "with logo NEW Eco cut out," and it fits 2-door and 4-door F-150 pickups in those three years.
Choosing within the family
Five tailgate accents are linked for these trucks, and the notes are what separate them:
- RT58308: one piece, 4 inches, NEW Eco logo cut out.
- RT58310: two pieces, 8 inches, NEW Eco logo cut out.
- RT58311: two pieces, 8 inches, no Eco logo cut out.
- TP58308: two pieces, 4 inches, with F150 cutout.
- TP58399: one piece, 4 inches, solid with no cutout.
The data doesn't explain what the "NEW Eco" opening matches on the tailgate. Hold the product photos up to your own gate, and if the cutout doesn't line up with what you see, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Specs
One piece, 4 inches wide. 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror-polished, made in the USA. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape lets it go on over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Install around the opening
Dry-fit with the liner on and center the cutout over its feature. Tape your reference marks along the top edge and at the ends. Peel from one end, lay it to the marks, and press across slowly. Work around the opening with firm fingertip pressure. A dry, mild day is best; see the Installation tab.
Prep
Wash, dry, then wipe the footprint with a residue-free cleaner until a fresh cloth stays clean. Leave off wax and detail sprays until after the tape has set.
More linked F-150 parts
SGR58308 "F-150" tailgate letter inserts are linked, though that entry's note mentions bed rail lettering for a different brand, so call about it. WZ58308 wheel well moldings are tagged No Factory Flares, and WQ58308 wheel well accents note that you must remove the mud flaps, install, then reinstall them. Check each listing for its finish.
Care
Give it a few days before the first wash, then mild soap and a soft cloth.
Three model years only
Every accent in this family is listed for 2018, 2019 and 2020. An F-150 from before or after that window isn't covered by these listings, even if the tailgate looks close. The model year is printed on the door-jamb label; if it's outside the span, call and we'll look up the right part.
Try the width with tape
Four inches is a substantial band of steel. Before deciding between this and a wider two-piece option, mask off strips of painter's tape at each width where the photos show the accent. Ask us for lengths by phone.
Check the paint
The tape holds to the paint's top layer. Repair chips, peeling or chalky clearcoat in the footprint before installing, or the bond will only be as good as the damaged area.
Trim only
Nothing is replaced, and the tailgate opens and latches as before.

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.
