Default Mysterious Rocker Panel Stripes - Ever Seen Them?

So my 2004 Convertible was almost totaled. Parked in the wrong place at the wrong time and fell victim to a texting accident.

Got it all fixed up, but the body shop and dealership can not find the rocker panel stripes that were on it anywhere. They are a metallic/sparkle silver with a translucent white honeycomb pattern.

Has anyone seen something like this or know of a place to get it made?

Never seen that one before, you buy it new or was it used? If used it could of been a custom job.

do you have a wider view? is your car an anniversary edition? looks like a custom honeycomb design.

I bought it used. It was a rental car, then owned by 2 other people. I am the third owner (4th if you count the rental company).

Unfortunately I do not have a wider view, I had to run in before work to snag those pictures. I did not think to have them save some pieces of it. It was the same design as the picture below:

It is the anniversary edition, but the stripes that match the VIN are just solid tan.

It is sounding more and more like it is a custom job, and I will have to live with buying aftermarket strips with just the metallic silver.

look to see if the lettering is seperate from the back.


I had a different stripe on my car when I bought it- Looked everywhere for it, couldnt find it. turns out that the dealer made it and stuck it on when it was new, with each part being a seperate decal

Both stripes have since been removed by the body shop due to repainting from the accident. I didn't think to ask for pieces of it.

This car has had a few owners, any idea how to track down the original dealership?
