Creating RS rocker decos
I really like the looks of the RS Touring, with the curved rocker deco that matches the flare. Has anyone out there ever bent a standard rocker deco to create an RS deco? Can it be done?

Edit: Whoops, I thought you meant the bumper deco.
The deco trim can be bent, carefully, but it comes up a little short when you add the increased distance with the flare. It makes it harder to fit the end caps. Doesn't anyone make an RS-specific piece?

I think you're referring to the molding under the door?
Yes, I've seen it done and even tried it on the ones I pulled off my car. Extra patience is required, bend in small steps, test fit, bend again.

Thanks, Todd, and yes, Jack, Stoddard has the correct RS rocker deco but it is nearly $200 each side. I don't like the look THAT much! I have some old beat up trim to practice with before I try it on my new ones.

It's soft Al. Make a buck and ben it over that. You can play Walter Mitty and pretend you are beating out the panels for the original 356....
