The rocker panel is a body part located under the side doors of most cars that protects against debris and damage. It can be replaced and customized for aesthetic purposes.
The term “rocker panel” generally refers to an exterior body part found on most passenger cars. It is a panel that can be made of metal or fiberglass and is located under the side doors. It usually runs along the outside of the vehicle between the front and rear tires to hide the outer frame rail.
A rocker panel is designed to support the weight of tar, oil, rocks, pebbles and other debris that is blown out from under the front tires. This helps protect the sides of the vehicle from damage, such as chips in the paint, which can contribute to rust. It is usually cheaper to replace just this panel than to replace a damaged door panel. There are special coatings that can be applied to these panels that also make them more resistant to chipping, rusting, and other damage. These coatings can be offered directly from the manufacturer or from a local auto body shop.
This part can not only provide protection, but can also increase the aesthetic value of a vehicle. Some car manufacturers offer special panels covered with chrome or painted in a color that contrasts with the rest of the vehicle. Also, there are many auto shops that have decals specifically designed for this area. Replacing a vehicle’s standard rocker panel with a decorative one is an easy and fairly inexpensive way to change or add to a vehicle’s appearance.
