Product Description
TH99251 Honda Accord Coupe 1998-2001 Rocker Panel Trim, On the Rocker, 3.5", 4 Pieces
TH99251 is a four-piece polished stainless steel rocker panel trim for the 1998-2001 Honda Accord 2-door coupe. The part type is listed as "On the rocker", the note says it "Installs below the door," and the width is 3.5".
Below the door, not on it
The linked sedan Full Kit spans the lower door, from the molding to the door bottom. This coupe trim is different: it mounts on the rocker panel below the door. Nothing in the record ties it to the molding, so the door bottom edge and the rocker itself are your reference points. Check the photos for placement, and call 877-752-3811 if your coupe looks different.
Linked Accord parts
The record links several QAA parts to this listing, for two body styles:
- DH99251: Door Handle Accent Trim, 2 pieces, coupe
- PP99251: Pillar Post Trim, 2 pieces, coupe
- TH99281: Rocker Panel Trim Full Kit, 8 pieces, sedan
- PP99281: Pillar Post Trim, 4 pieces, sedan
- PP99282: Pillar Post Trim, 6 pieces, sedan
The sedan parts are listed for the 4-door sedan, not for this coupe. For a coupe, the coupe-tagged items are the ones to look at.
Measuring the rocker
Measure the flat face of the rocker below each door, top to bottom, and compare with 3.5". Check along its length too, since you want the strip to sit on a surface that stays flat. Call us with the figures if they don't line up.
Material
Honda Accord coupe owners get four strips of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, formed in the USA. You fix them over the existing surface using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, a tape QAA states will hold for a lifetime without harming the car.
Cleaning a low surface
The rocker catches road grime and spray. Wash and rinse it thoroughly, go over it with a wax-and-grease remover, repair any chips or rust, let it dry fully, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol just before fitting.
Four pieces
Positions aren't listed. Match the Accord pieces to the photos and mark each liner.
Dry fit
Hold each piece with painter's tape and open each door to make sure nothing catches. Look along from the front and rear, low down, for a straight line.
Bonding
Peel the liner in short lengths, press, and finish with firm pressure along the whole strip.
Conditions
A mild, dry day out of direct sun; no washing for a day.
Before ordering
Confirm the car is the 2-door coupe, look at where the photos show the strip sitting, and take your rocker measurements at both doors. If a door has had bodywork, it may read differently, so note each reading separately. With those details, a quick call to 877-752-3811 answers any remaining question.
Tools
Painter's tape, a rigid ruler, a marker, clean cloths and the two cleaners. A kneeling pad helps when working this low, and a second person can watch the line from a distance while you hold each piece.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- 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.
