Product Description
Honda Accord Sedan 2008-2012 Two-Piece Stainless Gas Door Trim (GC28281)
GC28281 is a two-piece gas door trim set. It's made for the fuel door of the Honda Accord 4-door sedan, model years 2008 through 2012, in polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA. Both pieces come with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Why two pieces?
The catalog lists two pieces but doesn't describe what each one covers or how they're arranged on the door. The product photos are the best way to see the layout. During the dry fit, place both pieces together before peeling either liner, so you can see how they relate and get the spacing right. If anything is unclear, call before installing.
Gas door required
The 2008-2012 Accord sedan trim is not a replacement cap or replacement part. GC28281 needs the Honda's existing gas door in place to go on.
Fitment
Honda Accord, 2008-2012, 4-door sedan. One row; see the Fitment tab.
Sedan vs coupe parts on this sheet
The cross-listings mix sedan and coupe parts, so read the body style before ordering anything else:
- Sedan: DH28281, an eight-piece door handle cover kit, not including passenger key access; TH28281, a two-piece rocker trim, 1.25 inches, below the door on the rocker; RD28281, a rear deck accent, 2.5 inches; RB28281, a rear bumper accent; WQ28281, a four-piece wheel well accent.
- Coupe: DH28251, a four-piece door handle cover kit, not including passenger key access; TH28251, a two-piece rocker trim, 1.25 inches.
Attachment
Both Accord pieces lie directly over the current gas door surface, and no drilling is needed. Per QAA, the tape holds for a lifetime without any damage to the vehicle's surface.
Prep
Make sure the fuel door latches and sits flush, and repair any chipped or peeling paint on its face; the tape bonds to that paint. Wash, rinse, degrease, and dry.
Install
With the door closed, lay out both pieces with liners on and adjust until the spacing and margins look even. Mark reference points on the body with painter's tape. Peel and press one piece at a time, firmly across its whole surface, then go back and press both again after a minute. Open the door slowly to confirm everything clears. The Installation tab has full steps.
A careful dry fit pays off
With two pieces, alignment matters twice as much: each needs an even margin, and they need to line up with each other. Having a helper hold the pieces while you step back makes this much easier.
Order check

Material
Polished 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, which is thin sheet that keeps the overlay slim. The polished surface gives a bright, mirror-like accent against body color.
Weather and care
Fit the two pieces on a mild, dry day and let them stay dry overnight; later, clean with gentle soap and a soft cloth and wipe off fuel drips.

Installation tips: Gas Door Cover Trim
- Confirm your vehicle still has its original gas door. This trim mounts over it and does not replace it.
- 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.
