Product Description
Eight-Piece 3.125" Lower Door Kit with Trim Crease, 2009-2013 Honda Fit (TH29221)
TH29221 covers a tall band at the base of the Fit's doors. The eight polished stainless steel pieces are listed as a "Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit" at 3.125" wide, carrying two notes: "With Trim Crease" and "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." So the steel begins at the door bottoms and rises just over three inches, and the record mentions a crease within that area.
About the crease note
The listing doesn't say whether the crease is formed into the steel or refers to a line in the door that the trim follows, so call to ask. Compare the product photos with your own doors, and if the shape isn't clear, call 877-752-3811 before you peel any liners. A piece that doesn't match a contour should be checked, not forced.
Vehicle
Honda Fit, 4-door hatchback, 2009 through 2013.
Versus the narrow kit
The linked TH29220 is two pieces, 1.25" wide, installed below the door on the rocker. TH29221 sits higher, on the doors, and is far wider. They address different surfaces. Choose by the look you want, or ask us about running both.
Construction
The eight Fit pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA, bonded over the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the hatchback.
Eight pieces to sort
The record doesn't name positions for the pieces. Spread them out next to the car, compare outlines with the doors and the photos, and tag each one before you begin. Keep the pieces labeled; similar-looking parts are easy to swap. A phone photo of the layout helps if you need to call us.
A wide strip needs clean paint
More than three inches of tape means a lot of contact area. Wash the lower doors, clay or lightly decontaminate if the paint feels rough, then wipe everything with isopropyl alcohol. Pay attention to the very bottom edge, where grime hides.
Laying it on
Rest the bottom of each piece along the door's lower edge with the liner still on. Check the top line from a few steps away. Then peel a corner, set it, and roll the liner out from under the steel while pressing outward from the middle to avoid trapped air. Close each door after its piece goes on to confirm clearance.

Living with it
Give the tape about a day before the first wash. After that, mild soap and a soft cloth keep the band bright, and a non-abrasive metal polish handles water spots. Avoid scrubbing pads; they leave swirl marks that show on a wide polished face.

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.
