I have a non-sport C300 and looking to swap to the Sport Package/AMG side skirts.


^Non-Sport (Base) vs. Sport/AMG Side Skirts^


I have found aftermarket pairs on Ebay for ~$269 and I'm okay with aftermarket but the sellers are far from reputable. After looking at the BBB complaints and the way the sellers respond, there's no way I'm handing over money to these people. Ikon Motorsports, Advance Tuning, 4Caroption, they are all the same "company". If you have to sell the same product under multiple "business" names, you're hiding something. Period.

The aftermarket parts look like this:



So my question for y'all is; do you know of anywhere I can buy Sport/AMG side skirts that aren't scammers or cheats? I'd also be up for buying used OEM as long as there's no damage to the plastic (I don't necessarily care about the paint finish). I would like to keep it under $500 for the pair if possible.

Options?

Thanks for any input!

 

Hi Keith. See the links below they give you an idea regarding their cost oem (Kunzmann) and aftermarket (ebay).

Hi Andy. Dude, you are freaking awesome. Thank you!

 

For some reason, my phone kept giving me the same lame Ebay results. I'm thinking it may be a combination of my browsing history and having the Ebay app installed (?). Using Andy's links led me to other, better results

For those also searching for such, I've found these parts are also referred to as Rocker Covers, Rocker Panel Covers or Rocker Mouldings.

I ended up purchasing these, seller checks out for me:

They look awesome Keith. We deserve a picture of these once installed on your car

 

Thanks man. By the time they arrive, I get them painted and on the car may be a month or so, but I'll share how it goes!

Also to further confuse the terminology of these parts, in my W205 Factory Workshop Manual they are referred to as Longitudinal Member Paneling. WTF, can't we all just agree to call them Side Skirts? lol

 

I've always known those Panels to be called "Rockers", that's what its referred to in the auto body industry for the most part.

These are side skirts:

That makes perfect sense. For older cars I remember them always called rockers also. Now, if everyone would just name these components correctly. ;p

Nice looking skirts BTW!

 

UPDATE: The parts have arrived. The quality is much better than I expected They look great. Also, as an added bonus, I thought the trim pieces were going to be black or raw plastic so I had planned to take the trim pieces to a vinyl shop to be wrapped in chrome. The trim pieces are already chrome. Sweet.

Now off to the paint shop.

 

Keith they look awesome. I want to see them on your car.

 

Me too brother! The hardest part of mods is waiting for the vision to come to reality.

Dropped them off at the paint shop. They need about a week or two to complete. It's a popular place and worth the wait as they do good work. They are not cheap, but I figure I saved so much on the parts I can splurge a little on paint.

 

I spent so much time on transforming visions to reality until such time the wife screamed how about you leave me and marry your car 😂

 

LOL! I feel you dude!
