Sedan kit, mixed sibling list
The fitment row names only the 4-door sedan. The linked parts, though, include both sedan and coupe items, so read their tags before buying them:
- Tagged sedan: GC23281 gas door cover trim, PP23281 (four-piece) and PP23282 (six-piece) pillar post kits, DH23281 door handle cover kit (eight pieces, "Does not include passenger key access").
- Tagged coupe: GC23251 gas door cover trim ("Coupe only"), PP23251 two-piece pillar post kit, DH23251 door handle accent trim.
Read each listing to confirm its finish.
The molding as reference
An Upper Kit sits right under the side molding. Make sure yours are in place and straight. If they've been removed or look different from the photos, call 877-752-3811 first.
Model years
Honda Accord, 4-door sedan, 2003 through 2007.
Specs
- Upper Kit with eight pieces
- 3.5" width
- Polished 26-gauge 304 stainless, high quality and made in the USA
- Attaches to the Accord's existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
For the eight 2003-2007 Accord strips, QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime and leaves the sedan unharmed.
Eight pieces
The record doesn't describe the layout. Sort them against the photos and label every liner.
The band below the molding
Measure three and a half inches down from the molding at several points. Repair any dents or chips in that band, then wash, polish dull spots, and wipe it with isopropyl alcohol, including right up under the molding lip.
Install, top first
Hold each piece's top edge tight to the molding with the liner in place. Check the ends at the door gaps, opening each door. Then peel from the top and press down and outward.
Keeping the joints even
Measure joint positions from the wheel openings and keep them consistent.
Supplies
Soap, polish, touch-up paint, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure, a helper.
Conditions and care
Work in warm, dry weather; wait about a day to wash, and use only non-abrasive polish later.
Why the tags matter
It's easy to put the wrong gas door cover or pillar kit in the cart because it shares the Accord name. On this listing, the coupe-tagged parts sit right next to the sedan ones. If you're ordering a set for your sedan, go by each listing's own fitment tag, not just the model name, and call if a tag isn't clear.
What it changes
A three-and-a-half-inch polished band directly under the molding, so molding and steel read as a single line along the Accord.
Before you call
Note your model year and measure from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door. Those two details answer most fit questions about this kit.
Cold weather
Bring a car that's been outside overnight into a garage for an hour before starting.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
