Rocker panels

Good afternoon. Is there a source for rocker panels for the fourth generation Maxima or do I have to go to a salvage yard find a decent car and cut them off.

Last I checked there are no repair panels. I found something for a 5th gen which is not really helpful. https://www.noramstore.com/search.ht...xima&go=Search Unfortunetly it seems cutting a panel from a donor car is the best solution.

Seems like quite a challenge for you to separate the rocker panels from the body AT the junk yard. Or, will they do it for you ?

Somebody could make a video

My RPs are mostly okay but the rear wheel wells are starting to bubble.

I have cut an entire wheel well out of a unibody car in Cali and shipped it back to PA before. The yard had no issue with it.

I had a Dewalt 20v Sawzall and a Milwaukee M12 90* cut off wheel, both with multiple batteries, blades and wheels. I asked ahead of time and they said no problem.
