New Rockers IN!
Picked them up from the shop.
First off, these are not show quality pieces, but I definitely think they're awesome compared to how they started out and compared to what's on the car. They really stand out.

This is what my "NEW" panels looked like when I started out. ;)

My work area... The new rocker is on the ground, the old one on the car still. The old rockers are very yellow cast in comparison to the new.

This is the "new" rocker panel on the car.
Net investment was $250. If you guys are looking to do this yourself though, it'd be a lot cheaper. Stripping, polishing, and recoating would probably run about $50 total, DIY. I had it done for $150. It looks *great*.
Note to all: BE CAREFUL WHEN JACKING. Cali-77-L82 and I were not. :p:
And a question- how do I take care of my new anodized panels?

*edit* Sorry guys, looks like you have to click the links. :(

Re: New Rockers IN! (corvettemaster)
The jack caught that and really ate it up. I'm still sick from my stomach over it.
That was the passenger side piece that was busted.
I'm going to send these pics to the guy I bought the used panels from. ;)
