yenpit Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Any good sheetmetal fab shop can make an outer rocker panel skin, as the "bends" are very straight forward.............I have had it done before. You will need to cut a 3-4 inch long section out of your car (or a parts car), and bring that piece to them as a cross section, so that they can bend it to match. The basic shape is the same front-to-rear full length, but there are some details at the front & back ends that they can not copy, but any GOOD body shop could fab during the welding process. Make sure you tell them how long to make the panel! When factory OEM panels show up here or on eBay (long discontinued from Nissan), they are expensive! I sold a PAIR a few years ago for $400! I have heard that tycott's panels are pretty nice, so that's a great contact to try! If your B-pillar is damaged, you will need to straighten it, or cut it out of a parts car. The 4 door & Wagon pillar is the same, but the 2 door is different. There is a thread on ratsun about a company in Australia that is CONSIDERING making the rocker panels, but I have not heard that they have actually done it yet. FYI the other NEW aftermarket panels that show up on eBay every once in a while, are NOT contoured properly, so don waste your time or money! Hope that helps! Link to comment
