Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow last Tuesday, and predicted six more weeks of winter would befall us. Are you ready, and more importantly, is your vehicle ready? Winter weather can make commutes longer and tougher, and can leave your auto with unsightly salt buildup. Salt buildup can lead to corrosion, making your car or truck vulnerable to rust. There are two solutions to this problem: Move to a warmer climate, or invest in protective Rocker Panel Molding.

ICI or Innovative Creations Inc. is a leading manufacturer of Rocker Panel protection. Their panels are constructed of premium quality 304-grade stainless steel. They have over 1,000 individual applications, so you are sure to find one that is perfect for your vehicle. The rocker panels require no drilling to install, they are mounted with high-performance 3M 4229 adhesive. They will also protect from rock or gravel as well as chipping and peeling of paint. They are both functional and stylish, a perfect pair.

If you have a truck, love the look and protection of your rocker panels, and want Tailgate Inserts that match, ICI has you covered. Tailgate panels are made from polished T-304 stainless steel and are custom-fit for each truck. Like the ICI rocker panels, they require no drilling, and are mounted with 3M industrial tape. They are a great addition to any truck and in combination with rocker panels, present a sleek all-around look.

Another rocker panel option is manufactured by U-Cut, and promotes individual customization. U-Cut’s slogan is “U-Design it, U-Cut it, U-Install It” and they can be a great option for more creative or do-it-yourself customers. Rocker panels come in four sizes, from 5 to 8-inches high, and you pick a design, determine how much to cut, and decide where to install. U-Cut’s rocker panels are made of PVC plastic with bright chrome finish and resist scratches and the sun’s harsh UV rays. They come with strong 3M adhesive for attaching. Also included are three pieces of clear styrene that can be measured and cut first as a pattern for the rocker panels.
