I've got a TA front bumper by misha incoming and will probably go with a GT2 deck and wing after getting a 150+mph 1/4 mile run done.
Was wondering what folks thought about the TA rocker panels compared to stock. Thanks!

I think cars with a TA frontend look a bit strange without the rocker panels.

this is what it will look like w/o the rockers. Or you can do a gt2 front end which looks fine w/o the rockers. And One with rockers

Personally not a fan of the rockers....they look too much like something just stuck on, but it is certainly a personal opinion.

Actually Jag, the cars looks great with the TA front end and no rockers....I am with Ross on this one, but the car looks good.

I personally like the new rockers, it is one of my favorite looks on the car.

well i have the TA front and no rockers...

Personal opinion:

1. if you leave the front lip unpainted carbon fiber then the contrast to the car color leaves the side looking fine without the TA rockers.

2. if you paint the front lip then in order to get the line continuation i would advocate the TA rockers.

here are some pics of mine without the TA rockers....

Thanks for the input! Apparently, it depends on more than one factor. One thing is for certain; there are some truly awesome looking machines on this board!
