Product Description
Toyota Camry Sedan 1997-2001 Stainless Door Handle Accent Kit, 8 Pieces (DH97130)
A Camry sedan from 1997 to 2001 has four door handles, and DH97130 gives them a polished stainless treatment with an eight-piece kit. It's made in the USA from 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, and every piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
The vehicle
One fitment row: Toyota Camry, 1997-2001, 4-door Sedan. That covers five model years and one body style. The Fitment tab shows the exact row.
A whole family of Camry trim
This Camry has more related listings cross-referenced on this sheet than most. All are listed for the same 4-door sedan:
- PP97130, a four-piece pillar post trim.
- PP97131, a six-piece pillar post trim.
- TH97130, an eight-piece full rocker panel kit spanning from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door, at a listed width of 7.5-8.
The two pillar post listings differ in piece count, four versus six. The catalog doesn't explain which pillars each one covers, so check the photos on those pages or call to choose between them.
How the eight handle pieces split
Eight pieces on four doors means the set is more than one piece per handle, but the sheet doesn't spell out the layout and doesn't mention key access. Use the product photos as your guide and lay the pieces out by door before starting.
Material notes
Polished 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge. That's thin, flexible sheet that follows the door's contour near the handle, and the shine is the steel itself.
Mounting
The kit installs directly over the existing surface. You won't drill anything. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Prep the paint
Look at the area around each handle. If the paint is sound, with no chips or lifting clear coat, you're ready. Wash, rinse and degrease, and on paint that has been waxed for years, degrease a second time. Let it dry completely.
Set the pieces
Hold each piece in position with the liner on, step back, and mark its ends with painter's tape. Peel the liner, align to the marks, and press firmly along its full length. Press again after a minute. Start with both front doors and compare them from the front of the car, then do the rear doors. More detail is in the Installation tab.
Doing it in stages
If you're planning the pillar or rocker trim too, there's no need to do it all at once. Each Camry listing goes on independently, so the handles can come first and the rest later.
Why start with the handles
Handles are the part of the door people touch and look at most closely, so polished steel there makes a noticeable difference for a small job.
Install conditions
Mild, dry, and in the shade. Keep the sedan dry overnight.
Care
Mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid scouring pads and steel wool.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- Unpack all 8 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.
