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. Attached image(s)

This may help.. this is my car when the body work was done. I didn't do this, I just paid the body shop. But they took metal rockers and valences and flared them to match the GT flares that I bought from Porsche. They also enclosed the open front end of the rockers to keep the crud out.
