Rocker Panels
I have a 07 white C4S Cab. The black rocker panels have never looked right to me. Has anyone had experience with painting these? Too many rock chips?

I have been trying to understand this painted rocker panel thing. I know that on the PorcheUSA website it is listed as an option to have painted rockers. My 2005 C2 has painted rocker panels and it was not a listed option. It came that way standard. Did they change this from 2006 onward?

It is standard for the rocker panels (which roll under the car a little) on a C2/C2S to come painted in the body color.
However, the rocker panels on the C4/C4S/Targa/Turbo (wide body) models are more flared (don't roll under the car as much as the C2/C2S panels). The stock configuration is that the lower part is painted black but you can opt to have it painted in the body color.
The differences between the C2/C4 rocker panel design is hard to detect in the attached pics from the configurator, but they are more noticable when you see them in person.

Here are pic of 3 Carrrara Whitr Turbos (the skirt panels are the some as the C44/C4S, since they are wide bodys).
1st pic shows the front lip, the side panel, and the lower rear skirt unpainted.
2nd pic shows the shows only the side panel painted white.
3rd pic shows the front lip, the side panel, and the lower rear skirt painted white.

I think they must being doing this as stock now on 2007-08 cars because this was not a purchased option on my 07 and the panels are painted.
