Rocker panels....again
Man, this sucks.
A while back I damaged my drivers side rocker panel. That's the bit below the door that the scoup fits in. The dealer says they are discontinued. I ordered one from Corvette Central about 8 months ago. After 2 back orders I just got the email from them too saying they also have discontinued it........this sucks.
So now, I'm back on the hunt again for a rocker panel......
HELP!!!!

I had some damage on my passenger side panel about a year ago. I found a guy who fixed the small (nickel size) crack and repainted. Turned out soooo good. Plus saved me a ton of cash. Charged me 250 bucks. I was hesitant about doing it but this guy is awesome with fiberglass and the paint gun. Maybe you could find someone local?

Find a local shop that deals with fiberglass. you will never know the difference. I had custom side splitters done on my car. Body shop attached them to the rockers. Wow! if the shop knows what they are doing... well ck out pics
During the job:

The shop also fixed all the scrapes on the underside
