Depends on the shop, but my buddy does them for like 1500 bucks.. Too far from you though, but it also depends on if they can order replacement rockers or custom make them.

pics of the rest of the car and what y ou plan on doing with it would change my advice dramatically.

is it a piece of crap that you want to drive for a year or two and then get rid of/scrap? Mono foam, duct tape and spraypaint will make great repairs that will last that time and cost you about $50 total.

Is it a nice car that you plan on keeping for a while, not winter driving, and want to repair properly? Call cross canada or put up a WTB on here for rockers out of a rust free car and have them professionally welded in and get the car painted. Price will range from $500 to $1500 depending on who does the work. I had a rocker replaced in my 10AE way back in the day for about $250 (nearly 10 years ago now) that I cut out of a parts car - due to damage to the panel, not rust. The repair still looks perfect and if it's held up this long it likely will last as long as the car does.
