Exclamation Genuine GM rocker panels

Hey all, just thought I'd share the fact that I was able to obtain genuine GM rocker panels from a local dealer ( left side only ). At the time they had less than 150 left. Not cheap @ $150.00 each but cool they are still available. Anyone know of a good aftermarket make for the other side? Looking for good quality & fit. Thanks in advance!

Re: Genuine GM rocker panels

My inner rockers have both the Tri-Plus and Key Parts logos on the box so I believe they are the same company.

Key Parts web site in the last link says to call their 800 number to find a dealer near you.

Re: Genuine GM rocker panels

Key Parts is marketing and Tri-Plus is manufacturing...same parts. Just ask any vendor if their rockers are Tri-Plus. Most are these days. Their parts are same gauge as OEM

Re: Genuine GM rocker panels

I bought my Tri-Plus rockers from Classic Parts.
