Stainless trim from Westford since 1978
QAA is based at 45 Powers Road in Westford, Massachusetts. Its homepage headline reads "The Best Made-in-USA Automotive Accessories & Trim Since 1978," and the company calls itself the original maker of the TARGA GARD line of stainless steel accessories. It sells mostly to car dealers and distributors, who install trim packages on new vehicles, and it is a member of the Specialty Equipment Market Association.
The parts are laser-cut to fit specific models: body molding inserts, side accent trim, pillar posts, door handle and mirror covers, emblem inserts. Each piece has 3M acrylic foam tape on the back, so it sticks on without drilling.
Check the origin line on non-stainless parts
QAA's stainless trim kits, such as the MI57321 molding insert kit and the PP58076 pillar post trim for the Jeep Compass, are polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and carry the line "Made in the USA!" on QAA's product pages and its marketplace listings.
One caution. The warranty text on some QAA listings refers to "all imported products," which suggests not every part in the catalog is made in Westford. The stainless steel pieces are the US-made line. For anything else, read the origin line on that specific listing before you buy.
