2016 Mercedes AMG. eBay, pretty sure there were a handful of them out there. All stainless, pretty nice piece.

Yah sure, they did... with a 335" rear tire tucked well outboard of factory...


Did I miss the tire size on the rim specs? I am on my 3rd Not Your Father's Rootbeer and second cigar.

Yeehaw!

Oh, please tell me you're running digitails?

So true!
I'm looking at the Digitails and the ones from easyperformance.com. Appreciate any advice.

Started on the rockers. I'm doing everything I can to seal up any access for water to get into the rockers but I did seal the insides of them up just in case. Will put a drain as well.

Nice, John. I've been thinking about extending my rockers down to the pinch weld also when I finally get around to doing that work. My rockers need to come off to fix some minor rust issues anyway.

Hi Trey. I kept a 1" wide sliver of the rocker that I bent up if you want to use as a template, glad to send to you, not sure if it will be exact on your car but it might give you a place to start. I kept with Dr. Hermance's concept of not flaring out the rocker but just letting the door line continue down.

I am waiting for mine to come back from forming... my rockers originally had a chrome panel, so I am doing that in CF and dropping it down to the pinch and including a flare for the rear tires... so they don't look so much like a "dually" with a 345 on the back...

One of my customers calls hers the "dually".
