Product Description
Subaru Legacy Sedan 1989-1993 Stainless Door Handle Accent Kit, 6 Pieces (DH90445)
Four doors, six pieces: that count is the first thing to know about DH90445. QAA lists this polished 304 stainless steel kit for the Subaru Legacy 4-door sedan from 1989 through 1993. It's 26 gauge and made in the USA.
Six pieces, four doors
QAA doesn't explain what the two additional pieces are for or where each of the six sits. That's not something we'll guess at. The product photos are the place to see the full layout, and a quick call can answer anything they don't. Lay all six out beside the photos before you start, so each piece has a home before any liner comes off.
Fitment
One row: Subaru Legacy, 1989-1993, 4-door Sedan. Other body styles aren't on this listing. The Fitment tab shows the row.
The steel
Type 304 stainless, polished, at 26 gauge. It follows the Legacy's contours closely, and it's bright because the metal is polished rather than plated.
How it mounts
On the 1989-1993 Legacy, each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. According to QAA, the tape holds for a lifetime and won't harm the Subaru's surface.
Paint condition
The tape holds onto paint, so the paint has to be holding onto the car. Check the areas around the handles for flaking, chips or heavy oxidation before you install. Clean, sound paint gives the best result.
Install routine
- Wash the area around each handle; rinse well.
- Degrease, and on older paint, degrease a second time to lift wax buildup.
- Allow it to dry completely.
- Dry-fit each piece with the liner on, using the photos as the map, and mark positions with painter's tape.
- Peel, set and press firmly along the full length of each piece. Press again after a minute.
The Installation tab has full prep details.
Even spacing
Fit the pieces on one front door, then the other front door, and compare the two from ahead of the car. With those as your reference, the remaining pieces are easier to place evenly.
Why add accents
Door handles are a close-up detail. Every time someone walks up to the car, the handle area is right in front of them, and a polished accent there makes the car look cared for. On an older Legacy kept in good shape, it's a subtle bit of brightness that leaves how the doors work unchanged. Paired with clean glass and polished wheels, it ties the side of the car together.
Before ordering
Confirm your Legacy is a 4-door sedan in the listed years, look at the photos to understand the six-piece layout, and check the paint.
Conditions
Install on a mild, dry day, out of direct sun, and keep the car dry overnight.
Upkeep
Mild soap and a soft towel. Avoid steel wool, compounds and scouring pads.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
