Custom Aluminium D2 Rocker Panels / Skirts

[Nollywood]

Hello guys!

I'm looking to get my lowers painted. I never understood how the S8, unlike the rest of the S models has never looked any different to the A8, bar the mirrors, grille and wheels.

Painting the lower bumpers is one thing, with the appropriate plastic treatment and priming. The rocker panels however are something else. It's got one heck of a rough finish - why didn't Audi make plastic covers for them?

I'm looking to get aluminium rocker panel covers made. I also don't like the way the stock panels slope towards the underside. They'll be slightly deeper than the stockers, have a different profile, and lastly, they'll be smooth, so getting them painted should make the car look more up-to-date. Might have a couple of sets made.

What do you guys think?
