Product Description
Honda Accord Coupe, 2002 Only: Six-Piece Lower Kit, 2.5" to 2.75" Tapered (TH22210)
TH22210 has an unusually narrow fitment window: one model year. It is a six-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the 2002 Honda Accord 2-door coupe, tapering from 2.5" to 2.75", and its note reads "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
A second coupe kit with different numbers
Before you order, know that the listing links another kit for the same car: TH22251, also a six-piece Lower Kit for the 2002 Accord coupe with the same placement note, but listed at 2" to 2.25". The data doesn't explain why two kits exist for the same coupe or which body it suits. Compare the photos of both, and call 877-752-3811 to find out which one matches your car. Call to choose between them.
Fitment
Honda Accord, 2-door coupe, model year 2002. If your Accord is a different year or a sedan, this listing doesn't name it.
The sedan kit
For the 2002 Accord 4-door sedan, the listing links TH22281, an eight-piece Lower Kit at 3.5". Pillar kits PP22281 (four pieces) and PP22282 (six pieces) are tagged for the sedan too, not the coupe.
Six pieces on a two-door
The record gives six pieces but doesn't describe how they divide across the coupe's two long doors and nearby panels. Use the photos to sort them and call if the layout isn't clear.
Steel and adhesive
Honda's 2002 Accord coupe gets six tapered strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, rising from the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the car.
Paint check first
On a coupe of this age, the lower doors have seen a lot of road spray. Look for chips, peeling clearcoat and rust spots at the bottom edge; repair those and let them cure. Then wash, dry and wipe the bottom few inches with isopropyl alcohol so the tape meets clean paint.
Placing the strips
Rest the lower edge of each piece on the bottom of the door, liner on, and swing the door closed slowly to make sure the ends clear the fender and quarter panel. When the fit looks right, peel a short section, press, and work along the piece.
Tools
Soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape to number pieces, and a ruler to check the width at each end.
Reading the taper
Between 2.5" and 2.75" the change is only a quarter inch, so it's easy to put a piece in backward. Measure both ends of each piece with the ruler and mark the wider end before you test-fit; the photos show how the pieces should face.
Match the sides
Measure joint positions as you go and keep them consistent. With only two doors, any mismatch is obvious from the front.
Timing and care
Choose a warm, dry day and wait about a day before washing. After that, rinse off salt, dry the steel, and stick to a non-abrasive polish.

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.
