he ment rocker panels guys.....but anyways if you want to build your own rocker panels then u need a 1/16 inch thick sheetmetal to make them..... but the time it will take you to make them, u might be better off buying some instead unless your good with metal work......

Me too.Im gonna google it for a while later tonight and see If I can find some.

Re: civic rockers
 
but, do the premade ones just weld in? You just cut the old ones out and weld them in?? My rockers are letting water in my floorboards

I took some time and haven't had any luck finding anything in the way of premade replacement rockers for older Honda or Acuras.

shouldnt be too hard. Cut the rust on whats left of the rockers, then bend the sheetmetal, and weld that ----, than bondo the seems and paint.

When I replaced the rockers in my civic, I went down to my local sheetmetal place and they made a little cardbaord template of the shape they needed to be. I picked up a perfect replacement pair in 1/16th galvanized the next day and they only charged me 30 bucks for um! O0
