Hi FTC,
Are these a new reproduction with the mounting tab near the front or are they the reproductions that have been available in the past?
Regards,
Alan

How do they compare with originals? Gauge of material, crispness of stamping, etc?

Interesting that these are supposed to have the tab, because if you use the link provided
it does not show the tab. So, as a potential purchaser I would not think these had the tab if you go by what you see on the website it does not mention it at all. Unless I missed something?

I sent a PM to FTC and he is working on posting a picture of them with the tabs. I'm hoping they look nice.

Hi,
This would be pretty terrific if there's finally a more accurate and higher quality reproduction!

Are these parts anodized?

How do the mounting holes align to the body vs originals? Reproductions to date are terrible.

Thanks.

FYI -I ordered a set of these rocker panels from Full Throttle Corvette. They arrived today packaged and shipped by Corvette America. I have not opened them yet.

you can see the ripples and where the white haze is where the buffing was done poorly but these things are real real close the last pic shows the haze where its pouris

Well after looking at the second one .. I thinking about sending them back .. A scratch and a ding and the vertical lines are getting to me .. I know they are repros but for me to use them on my car I will have to put 6-7 hours of labor sanding and buffing to get them to my liking

Before you send them back do a test fit to see if the fit is at least good!!

Full Throttle has not responded to my earlier post as yet.

Please, can I ask those that have purchased them:
- are they anodized as OE?
- do they fit as well as OE?
