Product Description
2003-2007 Honda Accord Sedan Chrome Door Handle Cover Kit, 8 Pieces (DH23281)
If your Accord is the 4-door sedan from 2003 to 2007, DH23281 is the chrome handle kit QAA lists for it. The set has eight pieces of chrome plated ABS with a polished finish, imported, and it covers the handles on all four doors. QAA's catalog note: "Does not include passenger key access."
About the passenger key note
The covers have no opening for a passenger side key cylinder. If you rely on that keyhole, this is worth knowing before you order. The driver side is not mentioned in the note, so check the product photos to see the shape of the driver covers.
Sedan versus coupe
QAA splits its Accord handle trim by body style. This chrome cover kit is listed for the 4-door sedan. The 2-door coupe has its own part, DH23251, a four-piece polished stainless accent trim. The two are not interchangeable in the catalog: different body styles, different materials, different looks.
Fitment
Honda Accord, 4-door sedan, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. One row, and the Fitment tab shows it exactly as QAA has it.
Covers, not accents
A cover kit fits over the handle itself, so the visible handle becomes chrome. That's a bolder change than stainless accent trim, which only highlights the area next to the handle. ABS plastic can be molded to wrap the handle's shape, and the chrome plating supplies the mirror finish.
Install
The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Steps in brief: wash, degrease, and dry each handle; sort the eight covers by door with the photos; dry-fit each one by hand; then place and press firmly for a few seconds. Do one door at a time. The Installation tab covers the full process.
Sedan trim to match
Parts QAA lists for the same 4-door sedan:
- GC23281: one-piece gas door cover trim
- PP23281: four-piece pillar post trim
- PP23282: six-piece pillar post trim
- TH25281: eight-piece upper rocker panel kit, spanning from the bottom of the molding down to a specified width of 3.5"
The two pillar kits differ by piece count in the data; compare photos to choose. The sibling list also includes coupe parts, GC23251 (coupe only) and PP23251, which are not for the sedan.
Mixing chrome and stainless
These covers are chrome plated ABS, and the sibling list does not state the material of every companion part. If stainless pieces go on too, chrome plating and polished stainless can look slightly different side by side. Compare the photos of each part to judge how they will look together on your car.
Why choose a full cover
Handle covers are one of the most visible changes you can make without any body work. Because they go over the existing handles, the doors open and close exactly as before. Eight pieces means each of the four handles and its surrounding area is covered.

Installation tips: Door Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack all 8 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, 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.
