Product Description
Honda Accord Coupe 1998-2001 Stainless Door Handle Accents, 2 Pieces (DH99251)
DH99251 is the two-door version: a pair of polished stainless door handle accents for the Honda Accord coupe, 1998 through 2001. Made in the USA from 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, both pieces come with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Coupe, not sedan
The fitment row is: Honda Accord, 1998-2001, 2-door Coupe. That's important, because several Accord listings on this sheet are for the 4-door sedan instead. Make sure you're shopping for the coupe. The Fitment tab shows the row.
Related Accord trim, sorted by body style
For the 2-door coupe:
- PP99251, a two-piece pillar post trim.
- TH99251, a four-piece rocker panel trim that installs below the door, at a listed width of 3.5.
For the 4-door sedan (not this car):
- PP99281 four-piece and PP99282 six-piece pillar post trims.
- TH99281, an eight-piece full rocker panel kit.
Coupe owners who want a coordinated look should stick to the first group.
The two handle pieces
One door, one accent: that's the simple way to picture it, though the catalog doesn't describe the exact shape and has no note about key access. Compare the product photos with your doors, and if your handles look different, give us a call.
What it's made of
It's polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge that follows the Accord door's contour by the handle. The bright face is polished steel, not a coating.
How it mounts
No drilling. Each piece installs directly over the existing surface with the tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Install, start to finish
Check the paint around both handles for chips or peeling clear coat; the tape needs sound paint. Wash, rinse and degrease, twice on older waxed paint. Let it dry. Hold the first accent in place with the liner on, check it from a step back, and mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel, align, and press firmly end to end, then once more a minute later. The Installation tab has the full steps.
Make the pair match
With only two pieces, they'll be compared to each other. Note where the first sits relative to the handle and repeat that for the second. Check both from the front of the car before leaving it overnight.
Why handle accents on a coupe
On a two-door car, each handle is in plain view from the side. Polished steel at each handle gives a bright detail you see up close getting in, and the Accord's doors open and lock as before. Paired with the coupe pillar and rocker listings above, it carries one finish along the side of the car.
Pre-order check
Confirm it's a 2-door coupe from 1998-2001, compare the photos with your handles, and look over the paint.
Timing
Dry weather, mild temperatures, shade. Keep the car dry overnight.
Care
Mild soap and a soft towel. No abrasives.

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.
