Bringing this back...
Do the doors have to come off??

I have heard the rocker panel is glued to the frame? How hard is it to get it to release???

I'm thinking about just doing the rear conversion

Yes absolutely the door will need to be removed in order to replace the rocker. And yes the rocker is glued to the frame and will be destroyed after removal. If you do just the rear, rocker panel would have to be done as well. Also if you do just the rear you will also need new rear bumper cover. Cheers, let us know if we can help

All so if you change the rockers to z06 you will need to use the Z06 front fenders The C7 fenders will not match up to the Z06 rockers.

You can just do the rockers and all the rear end stuff, it is not necessary to replace front fenders to Z06 if not wanted, everything will still line up in the front.

Do you have any additional photos of the install? Would like to see the process of removing the rockers specifically. Thanks ahead!

what is everything you need for the rear conversion? And do you need new fender liners as well?
