Product Description
Honda Civic Sedan 2001-2005 Lower Door Kit, 2.5" to 2.75" Tapered, Eight Pieces (TH22214)
TH22214 is an eight-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the 2001-2005 Honda Civic 4-door sedan. It tapers from 2.5" to 2.75" and, in the listing's words, "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Sedan or coupe? Check before ordering
This Civic family has kits for both bodies, and they aren't interchangeable as listed. For the sedan there's this kit and TH25215, a four-piece strip that "Installs below the door" at 1.875". For the 2-door coupe, the listing links TH25212, a six-piece Lower Kit at 2.9375", and PP25212, a two-piece pillar post kit. Count your doors and pick from the right column.
On the doors vs. below them
TH22214 sits on the door skins, starting at the bottom edge. TH25215 sits below the doors on the rocker. They cover different zones; the data doesn't say whether they're designed to be used together, so call 877-752-3811 if you're considering both.
Years
Honda Civic, 4-door sedan, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
A quarter-inch taper
The width changes by only a quarter inch from one end to the other. Measure both ends of each piece and mark the wider one on the liner before you test-fit, so nothing goes on backward. The photos show the intended direction.
Eight pieces on a four-door
The listing doesn't describe how the eight pieces divide across the doors. Lay them out against the photos and number them with painter's tape.
Steel and mounting
The eight 2001-2005 Civic pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, adhered over the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape; QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Prepping paint of this age
The lower edge of a door on a sedan from these years has usually picked up chips and old wax. Repair the chips, let the touch-up cure, polish away any chalky film, then wipe the bottom three inches with isopropyl alcohol until a clean cloth stays clean.
Fitting
With the liner on, rest a piece on the bottom edge of its door and swing the door closed gently to confirm the ends clear. Peel a few inches, press firmly across the full width, and move along the piece.
Pillar trim for the sedan
PP22214 (four pieces) and PP22215 (six pieces) are linked pillar post kits tagged for the sedan. Check each listing for its finish.
Lining up the joints
Measure where each joint falls from the nearest wheel opening, and keep the photos beside you as you work.
What you'll need
Soap, touch-up paint, polish, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a ruler.
Conditions and care
Install somewhere warm and dry and wait about a day before washing. After that, rinse salt off the lower doors, dry the steel, and use only non-abrasive polish.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
