Remove and replace rocker panels?
How easy to do? About a year ago, when I had a flat and was changing my right rear wheel, the jack slipped and cracked my rocker panel. It was only visible when looking UNDERNEATH the car so I said **** it and decided to live with it. Well, the other night I had a breakdown and had the car towed home the next morning. Had to jack it up again and the jack slipped leaving a noticeable crack in the rocker panel. This time, I’m planning to replace this one and the other while I’m at it. I found the rocker panels fairly cheap on eBay in the color of my car but how difficult are these to replace. Are these something I should just have my mechanic or a body shop replace?

I believe they are fairly easy to replace (simple bolts and plastic clips), but I haven't tackled this job yet
