Product Description
Buick Century and Regal 8-Piece Stainless Door Handle Accents with Surround Trim, 1998-2005 (DH38576)
DH38576 goes beyond a basic handle accent. QAA's note on this eight-piece kit reads "Includes surround trim and Includes passenger key access." It is listed for the Buick Century and the Buick Regal, both as four-door sedans from 1998 to 2005, and it is made in the USA from polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel.
What the note tells you
Two details stand out:
- Surround trim: the kit includes trim that surrounds the handle area, not just a single accent piece.
- Passenger key access: the passenger-side piece has an opening for a key cylinder, so it suits cars with a lock on that door.
Before ordering, check your passenger front door. If there is a key cylinder there, this kit is designed with that in mind. The catalog does not break down what each of the eight pieces is, so use the product photos to see the shapes.
Eight model years, two Buicks
Both fitment rows span 1998 through 2005, eight model years each:
- Buick Century, 4-door sedan
- Buick Regal, 4-door sedan
The Fitment tab shows both rows as QAA lists them.
Stainless construction
Type 304 stainless steel is a widely used grade. Here it is rolled to 26 gauge, which keeps the trim slim against the door, and polished to a bright finish. The kit is made in the USA.
Installation
On the Century or Regal, all eight pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, and QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the sedan's surface. With surrounds in the kit, take real care with the alignment:
- Sort the pieces by door using the photos.
- Wash and degrease each handle area, then dry.
- Test-fit with liners on, checking that the passenger key opening lines up with the lock.
- Peel each liner and press its piece down firmly.
The Installation tab covers prep in more depth.
A fuller look
Because the kit includes surround trim, the stainless frames more of the handle area than a single accent would. On a Century or Regal, that gives the doors a more finished, detailed appearance while the original handles keep working.
Take your time
Eight pieces is a bit more work than a four-piece kit. Plan for a relaxed afternoon in the shade, and work one door at a time so the pieces never get mixed up. Step back after each door to check that everything looks even.
After the job
Leave the car out of the rain and skip washing for a while so the tape can finish bonding. From then on, ordinary washing and a soft drying towel keep the polished surround pieces bright. Avoid abrasive pads, which can dull a polished finish.

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.
