Product Description
Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix Stainless Door Handle Accents with Surround Trim, 9 Pieces (DH38577)
DH38577 is a nine-piece stainless door handle kit with a precise note from QAA: "Includes surround trim, Does not include passenger key access." It is cataloged for two four-door sedans, the 1998-2005 Buick Regal and the 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix. The trim is polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA.
Start with the passenger door
The phrase "does not include passenger key access" means the passenger-side piece has no opening for a lock cylinder. Walk to the passenger front door and look at the handle. No key cylinder there? This kit matches. If you do see one, a cover without an opening would sit over it, so call us before ordering and we can talk through your options.
Surround trim and nine pieces
The note also says the kit includes surround trim, so the stainless frames more of each handle area than a single flat accent. The catalog lists nine pieces in total but does not describe each one individually. Use the product photos to see the shapes and to sort them by door before peeling anything.
Fitment rows
Two rows, two brands, slightly different year ranges:
- Buick Regal, 1998-2005, 4-door sedan, eight model years
- Pontiac Grand Prix, 1997-2003, 4-door sedan, seven model years
The Grand Prix range begins a year earlier and ends earlier than the Regal's. Check your own car's row. Both sedans are named in the product title along with their own year spans, and the Fitment tab lists them the same way.
Material
Type 304 stainless steel, a widely used grade, at 26 gauge. That thin sheet keeps the profile low against the door, and the polished surface gives a mirror-bright look. Made in the USA.
How it goes on
Each piece uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and 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. Prep and patience make the difference with a kit this size. Wash every handle area, degrease to remove wax, and dry it. Work one door at a time: dry-fit the pieces with their liners on, look at the spacing, then peel and press each one firmly. The Installation tab has the detailed steps.
Why the bigger kit
Small accent sets brighten the handle itself. A surround kit like this one goes further and outlines the area around it, which gives the doors a more finished, detailed look while leaving the handles fully working.
Two owners, one part number
If you have both a Regal and a Grand Prix in the driveway, the same kit is listed for each within its years, provided both cars lack a passenger key cylinder.
Aftercare
Skip washing for a while after installation so the tape can bond. Then regular washing and a soft towel are all the polished stainless needs.
Linked parts
No companion parts are cross-listed with this SKU. Call to ask about other trim for your Regal or Grand Prix.

Installation tips: Door Handle Accent Trim
- Unpack all 9 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.
