Product Description
Chevrolet Silverado 2014-2018 & 2019 1500 LD Stainless Tailgate Accent Trim TP54181, 2 Pieces
TP54181 is a two-piece polished stainless steel Tailgate Accent Trim for the Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. The fitment names the Silverado for 2014-2018 and the 2019 Silverado 1500 LD.
Two fitment rows
- "2-door, 4-door, Pickup Truck"
- "4-door, Pickup Truck, Extended Cab, 1500 LD Model only"
Both rows name the same vehicles. The second carries one more limit, Extended Cab and "1500 LD Model only", while the first doesn't. The record doesn't explain how the two rows relate. If your truck is a 2019, or you're not sure which row describes it, call 877-752-3811 before ordering. The title lists 2014-2018 and the 2019 Silverado 1500 LD separately.

RT54181 is another tailgate piece. The record doesn't say whether it's designed to sit with this set, so compare the photos and ask us before ordering both. The SGR54181 record also carries a "SUPER DUTY" Front Grille Letter Insert note, which conflicts with its "CHEVROLET" name; check that listing's photos if you're interested in it.
Construction
Both Silverado tailgate pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA, fixed over the existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the tailgate's surface.
Placement
The record gives no width or position for these two pieces. The photos show where they go on the tailgate, so compare them with your truck before ordering.
Preparation
Wash and dry the Silverado's tailgate. Go over the bonding spots with wax-and-grease remover, then with isopropyl alcohol just before each piece goes on.
Dry fit
Hold both pieces up with liners on, check they follow the surface, and mark the ends with painter's tape. Lower and raise the tailgate to confirm nothing catches.
Bonding
Pull the liner back a little at a time, pressing as you go, and press firmly over the whole piece at the end. Use the first tailgate piece as the reference for placing the second.
Conditions
Choose mild, dry weather out of direct sun; keep the truck dry overnight.
Care
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth; fingerprints lift off with a non-abrasive stainless cleaner.
What to have ready when you call
Your model year, whether the truck is a 2-door or 4-door, the cab type, and whether it's a 1500 LD. A photo of the tailgate helps too. With those details, we can check this listing against your truck quickly and tell you which fitment row applies.
Tools and help
Painter's tape, lint-free cloths, wax-and-grease remover and isopropyl alcohol. A second person can stand back and judge whether the two pieces sit level with each other. Allow an unhurried hour. Count both pieces as soon as the box arrives, store them flat, and the morning after fitting press down any edge that looks raised.

Installation tips: Tailgate Accent 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.
