Rocker panel help! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For a little back story first...
I bought my 2011 Synergy green Camaro with 8,200 miles. There were custom carbon fiber side skirts that were taped along the rocker panels and then screwed into the fender wells. The car was lowered by an inch when I bought it and the custom skirts fell another inch and a half. I caught one of those pesky curbs and destroyed the passenger side skirt. When I did it caused some damage to the screw mounting in the rear fender well...JUST ON THE ROCKER PANEL! I took the 1 and a half skirts off that I still had on. When I did a lot of that tape was left on my rocker panels and it looks very tacky.

I've been looking for a set to replace them with, but haven't been able to find any on the Internet or even some side skirts from a body kit that replace the panels instead of just going over. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some replacement rocker panels or side skirts that replace the existing ones. Or does anyone at least know of a safe way to remove what is left of the tape from the side skirts I pulled off?

The only place I've found replacement panels is at the dealership at a very high cost.

Pics would help, but sounds like you are looking for replacement side skirts.

In a week I'll be receiving ZL1 side rockers for my 2014 ILE.
I can sell you my original side panels for $250 including shipping. They are black.
Let me know by PM so I'm alerted of the message.

3M adhesive remover spray. Auto parts store. Well ventilated area. Might also use a heat gun or hair drier to get the majority off. Don't use too much heat and go slow. Rub with microfiber towels that you will toss. It will ruin them, but it works.

i appreciate the offers to buy the ones your removing but i really want them color matched and to get them painted after buying them would cost me around the same to just go ahead and purchase a set of those ZL1 panels that was displayed in the link.
