It is so perfect 
The paint match was dead on, these guys were amazing. Total price out the door, 362.00 and that included a butt load of welding aluminum, etc to repair the damage right
I took some shots of it, it is on the right side in this picture:
The only issue is the black is slightly darker on the new one and a little more sheen, you can see it here:
He told me for 50 bucks he'd mask off and spray the black part of passenger side which definitely needs it even though all the noticeable damage is all on the bottom. I figure 2 birds with 1 stone as I really need it painted for the shade/sheen to match anyway. Here is a shot of the newly painted bottom in contrast to the one that hasn't been painted. Then in the third photo I started trying to clean all the tar/grime and crap off, I imagine this will make it look really nice once I get to polishing it. The part you see when looking at the car/rocker is near flawless that is why I didn't have the passenger side painted, guess I'm contemplating it now but I feel like it is just a waste of money to do the whole thing when really it is just the very bottom that nicked up (besides the black part). I feel like I can polish out the bottom and make it look really good, besides I feel like it is just going to get nicked up along with the new one and who looks under the car anyway but me lol
The insulation has been wrapped in aluminum on this side as well, so hopefully I will not have any issues with bubbling, especially since the cats are removed but if I do I figure I'll just do it then:
Fresh Painted Rocker Bottom:
Passenger side before trying to get the tar/grime off
Starting to work on getting all the crap off so I can polish, coming out very nice, there are some deep scratches but again you could only see these if you were under the car. You can see in the screw hole recess how bad the underside was gunked up :
Interested in anyone's thoughts, would you have the black painted, do you think I'm being crazy not to paint the whole thing even though the red paint is very nice? Lastly, can I just keep the clear stickers off? I like the looks of the panel better without them, or is this paint suicide, if so can someone tell me where to pick up the clear vinyl?
