Product Description
Nissan Altima Sedan 2007-2012 Door-Only Kit, 2.25", Four Pieces (TH27550)
The 2007-2012 Nissan Altima sedan has three linked rocker-area kits, each in a different spot. TH27550 is the one on the doors: four pieces of polished stainless steel, 2.25" wide, with the note "On the doors only, spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Three kits, three zones
- TH27550 (this kit): Lower Kit, four pieces, 2.25", on the doors only, from the bottom up.
- TH27551: Upper Kit, four pieces, 4", "Cut to the Molding," from the bottom of the molding down.
- TH27552: Insert Kit, four pieces, 0.875", "On the Molding."
The data doesn't say whether these are designed to be combined, so if you want more than one, call 877-752-3811 to check how they meet.
Doors only
The steel stays on the four door skins. It doesn't extend onto the fenders, rear quarters or the rocker below.
Fitment
Nissan Altima, 4-door sedan, 2007 through 2012.
Sedan vs. coupe parts
Some linked parts are tagged for the 2-door coupe, not this sedan: GC27558 gas door cover trim, PP27558 two-piece pillar post kit and WP27558 window package. The sedan versions are GC27550, PP27550, PP27551 and WP27550. Check each listing's tags and finish.
Material
The four Altima strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and fix straight over the existing paint with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan's surface.
Measure first
Mark two and a quarter inches up from the bottom of each door with painter's tape and look at what's underneath. It should be smooth paint, no dents, no chips.
Prep
Wash, clay and dry the lower doors. Touch up chips. Wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol twice with clean cloths.
Placing
QAA doesn't assign the strips to doors, so match each to a door using the photos. Sit it on the door's lower edge with the liner still on and close the door slowly to check both ends. Then peel and press a few inches at a time.
Even sides
Compare the front and rear ends of the fitted pieces with the photos before you continue.
More for the sedan
FV27550 fog light trim, LP27550 license plate bezel, RD27550 deck trim (1.5") and WQ27550 wheel well accents are also linked. Check each listing for its finish.
Supplies
Before starting on the Altima, lay out a clay bar, wash soap, touch-up paint, a ruler, painter's tape, lint-free cloths and isopropyl alcohol.
Afterward
Fit on a warm, dry day; leave about a day before washing and use non-abrasive polish only afterwards.
What it changes
A two-and-a-quarter-inch band of polished steel along the bottom of each door. With no taper listed, the top edge runs parallel to the door bottom.
Before ordering
Count the doors on your Altima, since coupe parts are linked here too, and check the lower door edges for chips or repairs. If you call 877-752-3811, have your model year handy.
An hour after fitting, run your hand firmly along each Altima strip once more.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- 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.
