Product Description
Honda Accord Coupe Stainless Door Handle Accent Trim, 4 Pieces, 2003-2007 (DH23251)
This one is for the two-door Accord. DH23251 is a four-piece door handle accent trim set that QAA lists for the 2003-2007 Honda Accord 2-door coupe only. It is polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and it goes on over the existing surface at the two door handles.
Coupe, not sedan
The Accord from these years came in more than one body style in QAA's catalog, and the parts are split accordingly. This accent trim is listed for the 2-door coupe. For the 4-door sedan, QAA lists a different handle kit, DH23281, which is an eight-piece chrome plated ABS cover kit with no passenger key access. They are different materials and different styles, so be sure you are ordering for the right car.
Four pieces on two doors
A coupe has two doors, and this set has four pieces, which works out to two per door. The catalog does not explain how the pieces are divided at each handle, so the product photos are the guide.
Fitment
Honda Accord, 2-door coupe, model years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. The Fitment tab shows that single row exactly as QAA lists it.
Polished stainless steel
Type 304 is a widely used stainless steel grade. QAA cuts this Accord trim from thin 26-gauge sheet so it sits close to the door, and polishes it to a bright, reflective finish. It is made in the USA, unlike the imported chrome ABS covers offered for the sedan.
Installing on the coupe
Mounting is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the trim installs directly over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Degrease each handle area and let it dry. Hold each piece in place with its liner on to confirm the position, then peel and press firmly for a few seconds. With just two doors, the work goes quickly. See the Installation tab.
Coupe companion parts
Two other QAA parts are listed specifically for the 2-door coupe:
- GC23251: one-piece gas door cover trim, coupe only
- PP23251: two-piece pillar post trim
QAA's sibling list also shows sedan-only parts, such as GC23281, PP23281, PP23282, and the TH25281 rocker kit. Those are for the 4-door and will not be the right fit for a coupe. The Fitment tab shows each part's body style.
A clean look for a two-door
On a coupe, the door handle stands out on the side of the car. Polished stainless accents there, with matching pillar posts and the gas door cover, give a cohesive, finished appearance.

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.
