I want to replace the existing rockers and front and rear valances with ones that will better fit the flares.
How do I know which ones to get. The PO put these fiberglass flares on in 1998 but I don't know where he got them (but he did buy a lot of stuff from AA - I have the receipts). Can I simply measure the distance from the exsiting rocker (for example) to the edge of the flare I find out who makes one the "flares" out about the same amount to meet the fenders? This has bugged me since I got the car - it just looks wrong. I can send more photos, closeups, if needed but this one shows the problem pretty well I think.  Thanks in advance. |

Pray the PO set them right (probably not, adjust expectancies accordingly).
I'd get fiberglass rockers and cut/copy/paste (if need be). It's fairly easy once you get into it. I may have a set available if you're interested. For valances; you may want to look around at the usual suspects, Getty or GT seem to be the best. Rennspeed stuff needed a LOT of work. Paint the rockers, valances and bumpers in a nice semi-gloss and you'll have a nice GT look going there. |
