scotty t Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 considering the high price and scarcity of p15 rocker trim has anyone adapted trim from another car? i've looked at a bunch of e-bay listings and there are a lot of long stainless molding available. but without having it front of me it's hard to get an feel for it's adaptability. just wondering if somebody has done this and can offer some advice. by the way my car is not stock but i do want stock(ish) rockers. thanks Quote

greg g Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 I utilized pvc extruded molding from the home imp store. The ranch casing (i think thats what it called) has a very similar profile and size and can be shaped easily. I painted mine satin black. But they might take that new "chrome" paint as well. mounted it upside down so the thin side face the ground using double sided trim tape. Cut, filed, and sanded the front end to mimic the shape of the original. Quote
falconvan Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Hey Don, did you extend your rockers down to meet the fender edges? What did you use? Quote

greg g Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 I had the facsimile on while mine were being repaired and polished. The Pass side was pretty much beat flat. Quote
