If you are talking about the rocker panel savers - yes, I do now. Only I purchased the A&A version for about 1/2 the price of Mid-America because I already own jacking pucks.

I hit a road gator at 70mph early one morning - my vette is not a daily driver, it is a once a month driver at most - and did over $5,000 damage. Do not know if the rocker panel savers would have helped but I will not take the chance.

Get them, you will not be sorry.

"Road Gators" are.....

The treads that are cast off from 18 wheeler's tires, that lie in the roadway..... Waiting to do $5000.00 damage to unsuspecting Corvette driver's cars.



They should be avoided at all costs.......

I have the A&A version also and they have saved me numerous times. A very good mod for even unlowered C5's, and a definate mod for the lowered C5's.

The A&A frame savers and rocker rails have saved me many $$$. They are well worth the cost.
