Title: Rocker Panels to Match Body Colour
Post by: max123 on March 10, 2010, 02:44:21 PM

Anyone painted the stock black rocker rocker panels to match the body colour.  One of the members has a black E30, so it already matches and it looks pretty good - also it gets rid of the overbite look from the front-is lip.

Pictures?

I don't like this look...with "is" or Hartge shirts, body color=nice.  With the stock rockers body color, it looks not clean, like a lazy respray, or that the undercoating has worn away.  And it shows the pinch underneath.  Got to a junkyard or find some skirts, E30 specific skirts(not from a Taurus), then do them body color, 10x better.
