Product Description
Ford F-150 2015-2017 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ55308, 12 Pieces, Without Factory Fender Flares
WQ55308 is a twelve-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2015-2017 Ford F-150 pickup, listed for both 2-door and 4-door trucks. The record states plainly that it "Does not fit models with factory fender flares", and it describes the set as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
The fender flare check
This is the first thing to look at. If your F-150 came with factory fender flares around its wheel openings, this set isn't listed for it. Walk around the truck and look at each arch: a plain painted edge is what the set is listed for. If you can't tell whether a trim piece on your arches is a factory flare, take a photo and phone 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Twelve pieces
The record doesn't break down how the twelve pieces are divided between the openings, and no width is listed. Use the photos to sort them and number each liner, so every section goes to its own spot.
Material
The twelve F-150 arch pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA, adhered to the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the truck.
Other F-150 parts

- RT55308: a 4" tailgate accent with logo cut out.
- DH55312: a two-piece tailgate handle cover with camera access; the listing says it will not work with LED light.

No rocker kit is linked for this truck.
Before ordering
Confirm 2015-2017, confirm no factory flares, and check the photos to understand how the twelve pieces are laid out.
Cleaning truck arches
Rinse each opening thoroughly, both the face and the inside lip, to wash out packed mud. Wash with shampoo and a soft mitt, rinse, dry and leave the truck to drain. With a lamp, follow each arch's band end to end looking for adhesive left by any removed trim, wax and stone chips, and deal with each. Wax-and-grease remover across the band, then isopropyl alcohol on each section as it's about to go on.
Fitting
Lay out the pieces for one arch as the photos show them. Tape them all up on their liners and check the joins and the gasket line against the photos before any tape is exposed. Bond the piece at the top of the arch first, peeling and pressing in short steps, then work outward along both legs, butting each piece up to the last if the photos show more than one. Press the whole arch again, then move round the truck.
Arrival and care
Twelve pieces make up the F-150 set; count them on arrival. A day after fitting the truck can be washed with mild soap and a soft cloth, but not with pressure-washer spray at the gasket.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- Unpack all 12 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
