steel is the only way to fly...
unless you use FG with rivets. all the bonding jobs ive seen are 'crack city'.......... fg flared valences are available from all the fg sources... MSDSinc.com is teh ONLY place ive seen a flared rearvalence |

I will do rivets.. i like the look and gives me the option of changing them out if the crack.break/etc.. Steel will come one day, but for now I'm satisfied with FG so none of the places I listed was any good??? |

This very well could be. You will need to do some fitting to the rockers whether they are purchased from the same manufactuerer or purchased individually.

I also vote steel. The fit and finish of most of the glass I have seen is terrible. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)

I personally don't like any of the flared rocker panels out there. They are thin in all the wrong places and you have to do alot of fitting. I finally scrapped the F/G and flared out my original metal ones.

You can get steel flares (read my post above) from GPR (www.gprparts.com). I don't believe you'll find the steel flares on their website but call them. They resell the steel repro flares that AA produces and I believe they are just under 1k.
