Product Description
2002 Accord Coupe Slim Door Trim, 2" to 2.25", Six Pieces (TH22251)
TH22251 is the slimmer of two six-piece Lower Kits Quality Automotive Trims lists for the 2002 Honda Accord coupe. It's polished stainless steel, listed at 2" to 2.25" tapered, and it "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Why there are two coupe kits
The catalog doesn't say. TH22210 has the same vehicle, the same piece count, the same kit type and the same note, but a 2.5" to 2.75" width. The record gives no reason. Look at both sets of photos side by side, and if you can't tell which matches your doors, call 877-752-3811.
Measure your own door
A ruler held at the bottom edge of each door shows how much flat surface you have. Mark two inches and two and a quarter with painter's tape and see whether that band is clear of trim, emblems or dents.
One model year
Fitment: Honda Accord, 2-door coupe, 2002.
For a sedan
Sedan owners should look at TH22281, an eight-piece 3.5" Lower Kit for the 2002 4-door. The linked pillar kits PP22281 and PP22282 are also tagged for the sedan.
Specs at a glance
- Lower Kit, six pieces for the coupe
- 2" to 2.25" tapered width
- High-grade polished 304 stainless in 26 gauge, made in the USA
- Fixed to the Accord coupe's surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
For the 2002 Accord coupe, QAA says the door tape will hold for a lifetime and leaves the paint unharmed.
Clean paint, strong bond
Wash the lower doors, clay or polish away anything rough, and repair chips before you start. Wipe the bottom three inches with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry. Skip any wax or sealant product on that strip until the trim is on.
Install order
Start with whichever run you like. Sort the pieces against the photos, label them, and test each one with the liner still on. When the door closes cleanly, peel a little liner at a time and press firmly from one end to the other.
Then the remaining pieces
Measure where the finished pieces start and end relative to the wheel openings, and keep those marks in mind before you press anything further.
Conditions
Mild, dry weather is best for the tape. If the coupe has been parked outside on a cold morning, let it sit in a garage until the doors feel room temperature, and don't wash it for about a day after the last piece goes on.
What you'll need
Car soap, a clay bar or polish if the paint feels rough, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape for labels and a ruler. There's no hardware to fit.
Pillar kits
The linked PP22281 and PP22282 are tagged for the sedan, so coupe owners shouldn't assume they fit; call 877-752-3811 if you want pillar trim for the 2-door.
Keeping it bright
A gentle soap and a soft towel after each wash, plus a non-abrasive metal polish now and then, keep the steel looking right.

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.
