My rocker panel was severely damaged with a fairly large size gash when I purchased. I did not think the rocker panel was repairable so I purchased a used one off of ebay for roughly $200 (would have been roughly $375 new for OEM).

My used version was a different color so it needed to be sanded with a couple of blemishes repaired and painted the same color as mine. For those interested, I paid roughly $300 for this effort.

To take the rocker panel off I did need to remove the sill plate to reveal several plastic connectors (seems like 4 or 5) that attach the rocker to the door frame area. I also removed the door rubber molding and the other plastic trim (may not needed to actually do this) to give me sufficient access. After removing the plastic connectors from under the door sill plate its just the plastic connectors from underneath the car and then the rocker panel just pops out. Took me about 20 minutes to take the old one off and put the other one back on.

If you have pictures to show me I would be happy
Cause don't want broke any clip or trim.
The sill plate has to be removed?
I was thinking only 4 clips under the car.
