Composite Rocker Extension
Exactly what are the Composite Rocker Extensions. The Corvette order website does not really explain. Are they carbon fiber, or just black plastic? Do they actually extend anything, or just cover the rocker bump. Are they held on with rivets and double stick tape?
I like the look of ground effects, but the GM parts seem like just a cover that doesn't add anything. I have seen some big swoosh aftermarket ones for a lot more money. Not sure I want to spend any money, low cost solution, just paint the rocker bump black.
Any other ideas?

Hey Bird, That's pretty much what I see about rocker covers. There are plenty of aftermarket options out there. By next fall when I get my car, there will be more to choose from. $595 seems pretty high for black plastic, for a few bucks more, I can get carbon.
I am tempted to make my own. I have built several parts from carbon fiber, but that would be a lot of work to make molds for rockers.
