After the quarter panel and rear trunk repairs the shop is going to install the steel flares. I'd like to give them a set of rockers for them to match up to.

I have a set of the ABS raised letter plastic variety as well as the standard fiberglass stock looking ones.

Which rockers fit best with the AA repro flares?

I used the fiberglass flared "GT" rocker from Performance Products. Quality seemed good, and the body shop guys didn't have any complaints, so I would go with them if I had to again!
The body shop HAD to use the rocker and the jack cut out to line up the flares due to the way I had cut out the rear fenders to make it a roller on the 5 lug and fuchs

When we tried this the front flare placement seemed OK, so we took the chance.
here are some pics of the front and rear portions of the rockers and the over all side view ( not to good)

I think that everything lined up, but there were some tense moments after the suspention was re-mounted and the car lowered to the ground after i read some of the horror stories on here!
