Product Description
Honda Civic Coupe 2001-2005 Lower Door Kit, 2.9375", Six Pieces (TH25212)
TH25212 is the coupe kit in this Civic family: six pieces of polished stainless steel for the 2001-2005 Honda Civic 2-door, listed at 2.9375" and set "from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
That width, in plain terms
2.9375" is two and fifteen-sixteenths inches, a sixteenth short of three. Mark it on a strip of painter's tape at the bottom of a door to see where the top edge will fall.
Coupe only
The fitment names the Civic 2-door coupe. The sedan kits are different: TH22214, an eight-piece Lower Kit tapered 2.5" to 2.75", and TH25215, a four-piece strip at 1.875" that installs below the door. If you have a sedan, those are the listings to read.
Pillar trim
PP25212, a two-piece pillar post kit, is tagged for the coupe. PP22214 and PP22215 are linked too, but they're tagged for the sedan. Check each listing for its finish and fitment.
Years
Honda Civic 2-door coupe: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Six pieces on a two-door
The listing doesn't describe how six pieces are arranged along two doors. Compare them with the photos, label them, and call 877-752-3811 if any piece doesn't make sense.
Specs
- Lower Kit, six pieces
- 2.9375" width
- Made in America from high-quality polished 304 stainless in 26 gauge
- Fitted to the Civic's current surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
On the six Civic coupe strips, QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime and leaves the Honda unharmed.
Older paint, careful prep
Coupe doors are long, so there's a lot of lower edge to inspect. Look for chips, flaking clearcoat and rust at the bottom edge and repair them first. Polish chalky areas, then degrease with isopropyl alcohol.
Fitting long pieces
Set the bottom edge on the door's bottom with the liner on and swing the door closed slowly to check the ends against the fender and quarter panel. A helper holding the far end stops the piece touching down too early. Peel and press a few inches at a time.
A consistent finish on the Civic
With two doors, the car is viewed side-on more than anything. Measure joint spots from the wheel openings and copy them exactly.
Supplies
Soap, polish, touch-up paint, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a ruler.
Afterward
Choose a warm day; wait about a day before washing; use non-abrasive polish only.
What it changes
A band of nearly three inches of polished steel along the bottom of each door. With a single width and no taper, the top edge runs parallel to the bottom of the door all the way along, which gives a clean, even line.
Before ordering
Confirm your Civic is the 2-door coupe from 2001 through 2005. Check the lower door edges for rust or repair work, since a strip this wide covers every inch of that surface. If you call 877-752-3811, have your model year and any repair history handy.
Cold weather
If the Civic has been sitting outside, let it warm up in a garage first.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
