Rocker panel fix
My bodyshop was able to get the minor jack damage out of the passenger side with paintless ding removal, but they couldn't do much to improve the driver side. They said they'd have to do a little bodywork and repaint them, which isn't a big deal, but is this area part of the chassis or can they be removed and replaced? If I can replace them I'd rather order a new one and have the bodyshop paint it ahead of time to expedite things.
I know it's very minor and you can find worse on most old 911's, but it bug the **** out of me every time I look at it.

My 86 had a crease on the right rocker. About a year ago, after pulling it off and talking to my local body man, I wound up buying a new Porsche panel from right here at Pelican. My body guy painted it and it's perfect. IIRC, it was probably cheaper than the body shop's charge to get the original one totally straight.

That's exactly what my thought was. How difficult is it to remove that piece?
