GT rockers to GT flare, Reshaping rockers, what looks best, need photos. Options

[ruby914]

I got some budget rockers that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) needed lots of work.
First cut about 1" off the top and had to add 3/4" to the bottom.
Cut about 1/4 off the front but I still don't like how it flares out different than the body lines.
On the bottom of the door there is a bevel in the body that the rocker follows until it flares out. At that point the rocker flares as much as the body, not staying set in as much as the bevel. I am thinking it would look better If the rocker didn't flare out so much. Is that clear?
I would like to see how others have handled this trasition.

I did most all of the fit work on the flare bottoms. The rockers had a some what flat edge to them so I made the flares to match the rockers. The front spoiler, rear valance and the rocker panels were all AIR products. The front spoiler and the rear valance were heavily sectioned then bolted to the car, then re fiber glassed while in place to form to the car. Doing this removes the stresses on the panel when locked down and in operation. No worries about cracks or broken mounting ears after years of road use. The rockers were pretty much a bolt on only. They were bought for 11'' wide rear flares, so again when I fit the rear flares I made the ends match the rear end of the rockers. My flares were AA flairs also. They were a really good product to work with. They key is to take your time and get it looking the way it needs to look before you shoot the paint.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Gotta love that paint booth.
Thanks your photos helped a lot.
I also looked over many photos on the pbase site.
Its hard to tell from photos but it looks like every car is a little different.
Even your first photo I didn't understand clearly that you expanded to 11" wide.
Makes me want to do the same.
Anyhow, I am reminded that no component I purchase is the real thing and all will need some sort of tweaking.
Thanks
