where to find rocker panels?

Thanks to my brother's mistake, my FC now is in need of a new rocker panel. He drove up on a cable and dented it badly. I have a plasma cutter and welding equipment.

When I looked Certifit doesn't carry anything. Could someone clue me in on where to find some?

Mazda still does? I imagine the prices would be rape. I may as well inquire. I would rather not ship anything, but will keep you in mind. I will check Mazda on Monday.

For a rocker I can probably ship it for around $20 or less. We shipped a guitar through fedex for $17 including a box.

FCY1-71-271B (left rocker) $121.68 (full list, CDN dollars)

FCY1-70-271B (right rocker) $121.68 (full ist CDN dollars)


Thats the outer rocker section and will do from the a pillar joint to the quarter panel/b pillar joint. The part isn't the actual length of the entire rocker.

My car was dented along the entire outer rocker. Is part you described what I need Classic auto? I t sounds like it and that isn't an unreasonable price. I wonder if Mazda would have a picture of the part.

here is what my brother damaged.






here is the steel cable tether he drove over.

The part would strecth from about the back of the front dent, cover the rear dent and finish just short of the back of the door.
