Chrome rocker panels & wheelwell trim?

[fr8train]

Does anyone know where to get these chrome accessories? If you already have them, how are they holding up?

I had them on my last truck for 4 years and held up very well, just make sure their stainless steel, I had a chrome bar on my bedrails that was bad; rusted faster than I could clean it. Should be easy to find.

I got my rocker panels from Jason at NorthWest Customs also. Even has the cut out of the Rams head. My wheel well trim came from Genos. Both were good fit.

I would warn everyone about the chrome wheel well trim that Genos sells...



1. You need to drill holes into the fender to install

2. The kit comes with non-stainless screws which will rust eventually

3. The trim has a rubber strip on the edge that will rest against the outside edge of the fender. Once the rubber wears from rubbing (they will more a bit) then you will start scratching the paint and it will eventually rust

4. A lot of dirt gets trapped behind them and it is hard to clean

5. I have heard that some people have had a hard time making them fit properly.



With that said I love the looks of the fender trim and wish SOMEONE would make a product that uses 3M tape to attatch. You can resolve some of the issues above by using stainless screws, painting the holes you drill with touchup paint before attaching the trim, using silicone on the screws whn you attach the trim and keeping a close eye on the rubber edge for wear.



I just bought another truck (99 CTD) and have decided not to put them on this truck as I do not want the hassle. I am patiently waiting for someone to make trim that only attaches with tape.
