Even the though the 914 has great style, the one thing that has always bugged me are the inset rockers which look like an after thought. Do any companies make rockers which are flush with the door panels and quarters?
I don't want to drill my originals at the sills. My car is not flared like the beauty below, but am going for the same look for flat sided  |

Yikes. Not the answer I was hoping for.
Anyone else? Beuller? Bueller? Bueller? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Custom doesn't have to be expensive. It just takes finding the right guy to do the work. Usually that will mean a hobbyist or enthusiast working out of their garage or personal shop instead of a commercial shop. Or ask one of the guys on World to build what your looking for and figure out a trade. |

I feel the way they are shaped at each end, makes them better integrated than the originals.  These ABS Rocker Covers were originally sold by AA. I just purchased a set of these from a member here. |

I agree Rohjay. I had those raised lettered rockers on mine before I did the flares.
Always liked them. Doubled as pseudo mud flap at the front. Heheh. I thought they were nice. |

Great suggestion. And at $146 for a set, not much of a risk. I like the non-rust aspect too since I have already saved mine once form the tin worm.
Extensions will work but unless professionally done they would probably drive me crazy and then would have to powder coat them. Mucho mas dollars. Thanks gents. |
