Default Rocker Panel Stripes...

Thought I'd try something different. What do you think?

It's different so I like it! The stripe pulls the black of the tinted windows and tires together to give it a balanced look. Theres so much for the eye to see on our cars (thats what makes them turn heads) but the rocker panels seem to be overlooked and barren. I think other cars could pull this off with a silver that complements the trim and wheels. Good job!!

Fritz, I tried an actual aluminium rocker on mine a few years ago. Even though it was off a 40 year old car at the time, it still fit the contours of the Crossfire's rocker perfectly.
I was going for a "certain" theme, but I also wanted to give the rocker panels some sort of stone protection as well.
I kept them on all day before deciding to leave em off. But looking at your car, I may just give them another try. Thanks

I tend to agree. I would like to see them on others before I would say yes it would look good on all.

Awesome! I don't know that they would work well on any other color. But they look great on yours! Very aggressive looking.
