    What do you guys think of these 1970 'Cuda-style rocker panel covers that are sold by Mr. Norm's? They sell for $379.95 and install over the existing plastic Challenger rockers.

    I thought Dodge did the rockers in black to give the illusion of a thinner, sleek side view of the car.
    IMO the silver ones stand out and make the sides of the car look too bulky and out of proportion when comparing a current gen to the 70's models.

    You are right. If anyone buys these 'Cuda-style rocker panel covers, they should get the black ones.

    I do not see diamond plate. They look like an exact replica of the ones on the 1970 'Cuda.

    The chrome strip that they had on the 1971 'Cuda was understated, but much better.
