Question Anyone ever taken off their rocker molding aka side skirt?

So yesterday during lunch, I was maneuvering around a rig unloading gasoline when my car decided to go over a strangely placed curb at a gas station (didn't see it). It scratched up my passenger side rocker molding. Now I'm interested in replacing it because if I'm not mistaken, you really can't sand/repaint those back to original quality. Is there a walkthrough somewhere on how to remove/re-attach those to our cars? I'm waiting for an email reply from tousley ford to see what price they have on them because I can't find it on their website. I know NewTakeOff has them but am not sure the would be any better than what I already have.

Thanks

They are super easy to remove.

Its just screws and push pins underneath.


Why not take this as an opportunity to upgrade them?

I did notice different ones that were including in a 4 and 5 piece body kit on the ford accessories website, but I wasn't a fan of the front and rear fascia's. Do you have any suggestions as to where to look?

I did yesterday, but they can't guarantee the quality of the paint job on them. Barricade has made me curious now about after market options. The only 2 I have seen are from full body kits.

Anyone know if the 05-09 rockers will fit on the 10s? I am pretty sure its the same thing.

...well mine are Saleen side skirts that come with door cladding.
The problem is the price.
here was mine before install:




here are some roush, saleen, street scene and cervani side skirts just to give u an idea....: Clicky here


I dont trust The durastuff hoods but Ill be the side skirts are fine....not bad price wise either More options clicky here.


But if I was you and the stockers were damaged get a cool aftermarket to make urs unique.

oh...and a better pix of the Saleen skirts installed:

Liking the Roush set - if I was going to put a new set on thats what I'd probably go with.
