Product Description
Nissan Altima 12-Piece Stainless Door Handle Accent Kit, 2002-2006 Sedan (DH22550)
Twelve pieces of polished stainless for the door handles of a 2002-2006 Nissan Altima. DH22550 is a twelve-piece handle accent kit for this 4-door sedan, made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, and it installs over the existing surface without changing the handles underneath.
Why twelve pieces
Twelve pieces across four doors means three per door. The catalog does not carry a note describing which areas each piece trims, so we will not guess; the product photos show the layout. What the count does tell you is that this kit covers more of each handle area than a basic one-per-door set would.
Model years
Nissan Altima, 4-door sedan: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. That is a single row with no exclusions, shown in the Fitment tab exactly as QAA lists it.
The stainless itself
Type 304 is one of the most widely used grades of stainless steel. QAA uses it in 26 gauge, a thin sheet that can conform to the shapes around a handle, and polishes it to a bright, reflective finish. Made in the USA.
Install day
On the 2002-2006 Altima, all twelve pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, and QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the sedan's surface. Twelve pieces call for some organization:
- Sort the three pieces for each door using the photos.
- Clean every handle area with a degreaser; let it dry.
- Dry-fit all three pieces for a door before peeling any liner.
- Peel, press firmly for a few seconds, then move to the next door.
Fuller prep notes for all twelve pieces are under Installation.
A full Altima lineup
QAA catalogs plenty of matching parts for this sedan:
- GC22550: one-piece gas door cover trim
- LP22550: one-piece license plate bezel
- PP22550, PP22551, PP25552: pillar post trim in four, six, and eight pieces

- TH25550: eight-piece rocker panel kit, on the rocker and lower, installs below the door and spans from the bottom of the door up to the specified width of 5.7"
- Window trim packages
The pillar kits differ only by piece count in the data, so compare their photos. Everything here uses polished stainless, so the finish matches across the car.
From handles to trunk
One approach is to start at the doors and work outward: handles first, then pillar posts, then the rear deck accent and license plate bezel. Doing it in stages lets you see how much stainless suits your Altima's paint color before committing to the larger rocker kit.
Fit check
Before ordering, confirm your car is the Altima sedan and that its year is 2002 through 2006. QAA's listing covers only that row, so other body styles or years are not included. If you are unsure, a quick call will confirm it.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- Unpack all 12 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.
