Product Description
DH90281: Polished Stainless Door Handle Accents for the 1990-1992 Honda Accord Sedan
Four pieces of polished 304 stainless steel, sized by QAA for the door handles of a 1990-1992 Honda Accord 4-door sedan: that's DH90281. The accents are 26 gauge and made in the USA, and they mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface.
A three-year window
The fitment is narrow. QAA lists one row: Honda Accord, 1990-1992, 4-door Sedan. If your Accord has a different body style, or falls outside those three model years, it isn't covered by this listing, and a call before ordering is the right move. The Fitment tab shows the row.
Accent, explained
Door handle accent trim highlights the handle area with a polished line instead of covering the handle entirely. The catalog doesn't spell out the exact position of each piece, and no cross-listed Accord parts appear on this sheet, so the product photos are your main reference. Hold them up next to your handles.
Paint prep on an older Honda
Tape sticks to paint, not to the metal underneath, so the paint around each handle needs to be sound. Look for flaking clear coat, chips or chalky oxidation. A careful wash and degrease usually reveals what you're working with. If the surface is solid, the tape has something good to hold.
Why accents at the handles
Handles are touched every day and seen up close every time someone gets in. A slim polished accent brightens that spot and can lift the look of a well-kept older Accord without changing anything mechanical. Everything about the handle works the same afterward.
Material notes
The 304 grade is a common stainless alloy for bright trim. At 26 gauge, the sheet is thin and follows the curves near the handle. The polish is the finish; there's no plating to wear through.
The adhesive
On the 1990-1992 Accord, QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the sedan's surface.
Installation sequence
- Wash each handle area and rinse thoroughly.
- Degrease twice; older paint often carries layers of wax.
- Let everything dry completely.
- Dry-fit each accent, liner on, and mark its ends with painter's tape.
- Peel, align and press firmly along the whole piece.
- Repeat the pressure a minute later.
More detail is in the Installation tab.
Every cover even
Do the fronts first and view them from ahead of the car. When they match, line the rears up to them, then walk around once more before the tape cures overnight.
Conditions
Choose a mild, dry day and work out of direct sun. Keep the Accord dry overnight.
Ongoing care
Mild soap and a soft towel. Steel wool, rubbing compound and scouring pads will scratch polished stainless.
Before you order
Confirm the year range, the sedan body and your handle shape against the photos. Then take a close look at the paint where the accents will sit.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
