i bought some too. BUT youcan sand em down with 180 grit then prime them and thatll make the smooth. then paint em. its way cheaper to buy take offs then it is to buy the paint and materials to make them slick like the factory gt skirts.

You know, I never thought about what color the stock rocker covers are. I'm color blind, but I know they arent the same color as the body. What color are they and do they really look that bad?

The V6 and GT500 use the flat black rocker covers, with a slight pebble grain. Like the mirrors.

The GT has color matched rocker covers.

I don't think they look all that bad but what I wish we could do was take the rockers of and not put them back or GTs so the body wold be the same height all round but that could just be me.
