Product Description
Chevrolet Monte Carlo Coupe Stainless Door Handle Trim, 2 Pieces, 2000-2007 (DH40175)

Matching Monte Carlo trim
QAA links this SKU with PP40175, a 2pc pillar post trim set, and TH40175, a 6pc lower rocker panel kit at 4 inches. QAA describes the rocker kit as spanning from the bottom of the door up to the specified width. All three are listed for the same 2-door coupe, so the handles, pillars, and lower doors can carry one consistent stainless look.
A pair of pieces
Two accents, listed for the two-door coupe. The catalog does not detail the exact shape, so look at the product photos to see how each one frames its handle.
Material
Type 304 stainless steel, a widely used grade, rolled to a thin 26 gauge and polished. The thin sheet keeps the accent low and tidy against the door. Made in the USA.
Quick install
With just two pieces, this is one of the simpler trim jobs you can do. The accents use 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install directly over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Wash the handle areas, wipe them with a degreaser, and dry completely. Hold each piece in place with the liner on so you can judge alignment, then peel and press firmly for several seconds. Keep the car dry for a while afterward. The Installation tab has more detail.
Why start with the handles
If you are considering the pillar posts or rocker kit too, the handles are an easy first step. They show you how the polished stainless looks against your paint color before you commit to the larger pieces, and they take only a few minutes once the surface is clean.
Good conditions for tape
Foam tape grips best on a clean, dry panel at a mild temperature. Avoid installing in direct afternoon sun or on a cold morning. If the Monte Carlo was waxed lately, spend more time with the degreaser, since wax is the commonest reason a piece doesn't seat well. Press along the full length of each accent, not just the middle.
What stays the same
The original handles stay in place and keep working exactly as before. Nothing is removed and nothing is drilled.
Care
Wash and dry the accents with the rest of the car, using a soft towel. Skip abrasive pads to protect the polish.

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.
