            someone painted my rockers when they repainted my car. its burgundrot, so they still appear dark. i dont think it looks bad, at least on that colour.

                    you mean "not the VALVE' cover" ?
                    lmao

                    no biggi

                    there are 2 types of rockers,
                    some (winter package) are very thick, and will be orange peel from hell.
                    the smooth ones ive seen, may have been sanded down. but look fine.
                    really it looks fine either way imo.

                    i like sideskirts, and mtech1 are my choice. but i run riegers now (found on c.l. for cheap)

                      My rockers are color matched.

                      And by color matched I mean my vert's zinno, and I learned a lot about driving when I got my e30, and I have red curb paint rubbed off on the rockers.

                      Yeah...

                          Get skirts, and color match them. Painted rockers always look half-assed.

                              hmm. interesting. but im always in the U.S. :mrgreen:

                              heres pix of mine
                              they are not painted and being (slowly) molded to the body, (sanding is visible).


                              and


                              fitment aint easy, but it sits flush to the bottom, and i can still use floor jacks
                              the lowest part of the sideskirt fits on the lowest rail of the body.
                              also allows big shop lifts to raise the car w/out wrecking them.
