Opinions please

Im going to have my rocker panels wrapped in gloss black. Should I do the entire panel, or just have them done the same as the OEM M Performance rocker panels where only the side skirting is black?

I was leaning toward getting the whole panel done, but Im now thinking that it might be too much.



Car is mineral gray. Pic for illustration.

Thoughts?

Go OEM style. The whole rocker panel is going to just look off… I’m debating on doing mine as well. How much are they charging if you don’t mind my asking?

$550 for the roof and rockers. Im taking a chance, but one of my son's friends graduated college last year and has started his own business with a friend. They've been at it a little while now, so Im hoping they've perfected their craft.

He's a good kid, an Eagle Scout, so I know that if it's not perfect, it isn't from a lack of effort, but rather a lack of experience. I figure worst case scenario, I have it redone in a year or two or as long as I can tolerate it, and I've helped a good kid out.

While you've got them off consider lining them with this, which will reduce rattling caused by the underseat woofers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKPGKL79...WxfdGhlbWF0aWM

I've got it in my doors and any other interior panels that I had reason to remove at some point.
