Custom Rocker Panels

Does anyone remember 49th Street Rocker Panels?

Not ringing a bell. Is there a story to this?

49th Street is no longer in business. They made several different wings, rockers and things.

I just made new molds for the ZR-1 community that are very similar but I changed the front piece a little. They don't fit standard C4's but if there was a big enough demand, I would make molds for them as well.

That's actually not bad looking. I don't think I would do it to mine though considering the cost and work.

I'm not a HUGE fan but they're ok. Especially since its a bolt-on/off mod.

They are sort of subtle

Wow, I remember when those "were for sale"

Many C4 parts are now long gone. One aftermarket part that always caught my eye was a triple fan inner fender to cool the engine bay. I saw that part for sale on Corvette Fever during the late 90's.

...also there was an aftermarket J55 set up. This set up was to be added to the existing J55 already on Vettes. Yes, it made the Vette with 4-J55 front brakes. The article in Corvette Fever showed it installed on a yellow ZR1. I guess that part failed because I've never seen that mod on any forum yet.

I really like those. Being a tightwad, though, and having other more pressing things to deal with on my old 'vette, I'd probably not get them.....

Those are a pretty cool looking rocker.

You always have a test mule available should you start making non ZR-1 parts.

Thanks Shrek.
Yep- I sold those rockers to Dwight (DDSLT5) around 10 or 11 years ago now.
My old car looked pretty good back in the day.

I found the picture of your car by Googling "49th Street Rockers". Old CF post, if I remember right. Great looking Z!
