Replacement rocker panels??

Im planning on giving may car a new paint job this winter. I need to replace a rusted out rocker panel behind the drivers door. does anyone make a prebent piece that I can weld in place or will I have to TRY to make my own.

This will be on a 1990 DSM

I doubt it, our cars are too new for the aftermarket. Your best bet is to cut out one from a good car that's being parted out, not hard to find around here.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think a company makes them, but I dunno what the name of it was. I know they were expensive as hell though. When I helped Mark (TKR) paint his car at school I think he did some searching for them. We ended up just making the replacement panels from sheet metal.

I've seen replacements for Civic's all over, but never for DSM's.
