you can buy just the rocker panels i know this

as for where, im not sure, i was talking to this older guy who has the same car as me and he said he got the rocker panels then had them welded in. My friend who is a mechanic said they are cheap, usually around $100 or so in his case. Nissan when they stop making the car sells the stamping tools to another company who apparently makes these body parts and stores them and sells for cheap

oh yea, if anyone has cosmetic damage to the rockers let me know, i have a set of black “sideskirts” i had used to cover mine up…you screw them into the rear wheelwell, into the rockerpanel from underneath and tuck the front pieces into the mudflap molding. They protect and cover the rockerpanel, good if you want to like, cover them up and protect them from sand or rain spray…i took them to replace them with a different set from a 2004 SIR

They arent perfect but they dont look bad and their better than lookin at rust!  
I dont want very much for them either

something like this

it’ll help a bit, your side skirts, but the water comes from the top… at the corner of the doors  
it runs down to the bottom where the water settles there…

that’s why it rust… the cause is from there, not as much from the outer elements the rockers face.

inner and outer rocker panels for 125$, I’m there.

When I removed the quarter panels from my 92 s13 I noticed a distinct lack of inner rocker panel,

These will be thicker/stronger than stock?

I’m pretty sure you will need to either A… Install them yourself or B… Get a body shop to do it for you.

This is just a buy for the rockers I believe… not a buy plus installation…
