Default Elite Engineering Frame Rails?

Has anybody had any experience or any comments regarding Elite Engineering's C5 Frame Rails? I like how they incorporate a jacking puck into the design - I'm in need of both and was curios what everyone thought. A bit pricey - but then again so is everything else for our Corvettes!

I just bought these rocker rails from Elite Engineering a few weeks ago to protect my rockers after lowering the car, and also to be able to lift the car without having to buy pucks. Quality product and with great customer service. Yes they are a bit pricey, and you could always buy them from A&A Corvettes also, for less money. As far as I can tell, the only difference is that the Elite Engineering one's are powdercoated black. You can't go wrong with either vendor.

I can only say that Rocker Rails should be a necessary add-on....

And that whatever you get from Jeff/Elite Engineering. is bound to be an excellent quality product... bar none

Like I said earlier, I like the idea of the jacking points/pucks being incorporated into the rail - that way they're in place whenever and whereever you may have a need for them. I went ahead and ordered a set - like myvettedream said, everything from elite so far has been top notch.

Congrats! You're goona love the feeling of going over an unusually huigh speed bump, thinking, "My rockers are protected!" Then you turn your head towards the camera <with a thumbs up> and say, Thanks Elite Engineering! You're the best
