Product Description
QAA Stainless Steel Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit, for the 1986-1989 Acura Integra Coupe (TH87970)
The Acura Integra coupe of the 1986 through 1989 model years has a long, low lower body that is easy to dress up and just as easy to see scuffed or faded. QAA kit TH87970 is a full rocker panel kit for the 2-door coupe. It adds a band of polished stainless steel 8 inches wide along the lower edge of the car.
What "full kit" means here
QAA sells rocker trim in several styles: upper kits, lower kits, on-the-rocker kits, insert kits, and full kits. This is the full kit. QAA describes its coverage as spanning from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door. In other words, it fills the area between the body-side molding and the lower door edge instead of finishing only one strip of it. The kit comes as six pieces, and the product photos show how they lay out on the car.
Width and look
At 8 inches, this is a wide trim, and on a compact 2-door the effect is noticeable. The bright band visually lowers the car and draws a clean line between the wheel openings. Since the kit is specific to the 1986-1989 Integra coupe, each piece follows that body's own contours and openings rather than being a generic strip you cut down yourself.
Material and origin
The trim is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror shine. Rocker panels sit close to the road, so the finish here is solid metal, not a plated or painted coating. You get the same bright stainless look that QAA uses across its trim lines.
Mounting
Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface of the lower body. You do not need to drill. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the paint beneath. With six wide pieces, take your time with the layout. Line up each panel against its neighbor and against the matching piece on the other side before you press it home. The Installation tab lists a suggested order of work.
Confirm your Integra
The application is narrow: Acura Integra, 1986 to 1989, 2-door coupe. The Fitment tab shows it exactly as QAA lists it. If your Integra is a different body style or year, this kit is not the right one. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before you order and we will help you check. The Specs tab has the UPC, part number, width, and coverage details if you are comparing against another kit or a parts list.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
