I've seen it done and think it looks cheap and tacky. It might be OK if you ran stock trim along the top border - sort of a two tone look. I think The thicker chrome rocker panels cover look cool. Maybe you could weld in your new rockers and primer them, then cover with the chrome rocker covers.

I'm interested too, as my burb will be a two tone silver/black along the stock 68 lower trim with lined rockers for snow season.
