This rocker panel provides the exact contour and mounting surface needed to secure factory-style side-exhaust systems, ensuring the exhaust sits in the correct plane and the rocker moldings align as intended. The result is a restoration that preserves authentic lines, improves paint coverage along the rocker, and supports proper installation of side-exhaust components.

Fitment and installation

Compatible with the following vehicles: 1965 Chevrolet Corvette, 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, 1967 Chevrolet Corvette. Specifically engineered for C2 (Mid-Year) Corvettes equipped with side-mount exhaust systems.
