Product Description
Acura Integra Coupe 1994-2001 Stainless Door Handle Accents, 4 Pieces (DH96970)
Two doors, four pieces of polished stainless: DH96970 is QAA's door handle accent set for the Acura Integra coupe from 1994 through 2001. The Integra steel is 304 grade at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Coupe only
The fitment row is specific: Acura Integra, 1994-2001, 2-door Coupe. That spans eight model years, but only the coupe body style. If you have an Integra with four doors, this listing doesn't cover it. The Fitment tab shows the row as entered.
Four pieces for two doors
A coupe has two door handles, yet this set has four pieces. The catalog doesn't say how they're divided, so we won't guess. The product photos show what's included, and they're the best way to see how the pieces relate to your handles. If they leave you unsure, call and ask before ordering. There's also no key-access note on this listing, so check the photos for how the lock area is handled.
Polished 304, 26 gauge
Thin stainless that bends to the shape of the door near the handle. The brightness is in the polish of the steel itself, so there's no plating to wear through.
Mounting
On the 1994-2001 Integra coupe, each of the four pieces goes over the existing surface without drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the Acura's surface.
Before you peel anything
Lay out the four pieces next to the photos and decide where each goes. Then look at the paint around both handles. Tape bonds to paint, so it needs to be firm, without chips, peeling clear coat or chalky spots where the accents will sit.
Install
- Wash the handle areas and rinse.
- Degrease. Repeat on paint that has been waxed for years.
- Dry completely.
- Dry-fit with the liner on; mark the ends of each piece with painter's tape.
- Peel and press firmly along the whole length.
- Press again after a minute.
Full prep steps are in the Installation tab.
Matching the covers
On a two-door Integra, both doors are in view at once from the front and rear, so consistent placement shows. Fit the first pair of accents, then stand at the nose of the car while fitting the rest so they match.
Why the handles
The handle is the spot on the door you touch every day, and it's seen up close. A polished accent there is a small, clean upgrade that leaves the doors working the same as always.
Checklist
Before ordering, confirm three things: your Integra is the 2-door coupe, it was built between 1994 and 2001, and the handle shape in the photos matches your doors. Then check the paint. If all of that lines up, the install itself is a short job.
Weather
Pick a mild, dry day, work out of the sun, and keep the car dry overnight.
Care
Mild soap, soft towel, no abrasives.

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.
