I'm considering replacing my '99 with a new '03, and flared rockers were something I was interested in.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Would you do it again? I mean, I've seen a number of posts and heard from others who have noticed the damage caused by road silt flying off the tires (naturally) onto the leading corner of the rockers. I've also noticed some other makes with flared rockers where the corner is cut strong enough for a flat spot at the leading edge, so that any debris coming off the road hits that, which I think was painted black like the inside wheel well. I'm considering replacing my '99 with a new '03, and flared rockers were something I was interested in. But if it's a maintenance issue, or worse, I would opt out. Any thoughts from those who have had rockers? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

They definately look much better and the problem with road grime is not that bad. Yes they do pick up a few chips but it is definatlely worth it. If they were not there the sheet metal of the car would be picking up the chips. If it really botheres you these are replaceablem. IMHO they are a must.

POST 3Original post

Flared rockers make the car. I think all Porsches shoulf have them as standard issue. Maintenance is not an issue. I get more junk on my front bumper than I get on my rocker panels.

POST 4Original post

Ditto Palting's thoughts. Get 'em Eric, they make the car!

POST 5Original post

I agree. I have a 2002 c2 and the rockers look great compared to non-rockers.
