Product Description
Chevy Silverado C/K 1500 Stainless Door Handle Accent Trim, 2 Pieces, 1988-1996 (DH32181)
DH32181 puts a polished stainless accent at each door handle of the 2-door Chevrolet Silverado pickup from 1988 to 1996. It is a two-piece set of 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the fitment row lists the truck as a 2-door pickup with C/K 1500 in its body style field.
Fitment
Chevrolet Silverado, 2-door pickup truck, C/K 1500, model years 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996. Nine years in a single row. The Fitment tab shows it exactly as QAA catalogs it. If your truck is a different cab or series, call us before ordering.
Two doors, two pieces
There are two accents, one per handle on the two-door Silverado. The product photos show the shape of each piece. Both accents are polished stainless steel.
Material and finish
Type 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, polished to a bright, mirror-like finish. Type 304 is a widely used grade, and the thin sheet allows the trim to sit tight to the door. Made in the USA.
Install on a classic truck
QAA mounts this trim with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. On a truck this age, cleaning off old wax, polish and road grime is the main job. Wash the doors, degrease the handle areas, and let them dry fully. Dry-fit each piece with the liner on to check its position, then peel and press firmly for a few seconds. The Installation tab has complete directions.
Why add stainless to an older Silverado
Owners of older trucks often look for ways to sharpen their appearance without hunting down original parts. Accent trim sits on top of the existing surface, so the factory handles stay in place. It is a small, affordable change with a clear visual payoff, especially alongside chrome bumpers or grille trim if your truck has them.
A quick job
With only two pieces, installation takes very little time once the surface is clean. It is a good project for anyone new to adhesive-mounted trim.
No companion parts listed
No companion QAA parts are linked to this SKU, so the Fitment tab shows DH32181 alone. Call and we will check what else QAA catalogs for your Silverado.
Checklist
Before ordering, confirm that your Silverado is a 2-door from 1988 through 1996 and that it is the 1500 series listed in the row. If your truck is a heavier series or an extended cab, the listing does not cover it, so call us first and we will look into it.
Care
Let the tape settle before the first wash, then treat the stainless like the rest of the paint: wash, rinse, and dry with a soft towel.

Installation tips: Door Handle 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.
