Product Details
Featured in the "BUILT BY MIKE" YouTube Series
The factory rocker covers are made from abs plastic and can take a beating over the years, whether you have damaged them off-roading or are just looking for a rugged and amazing looking replacement rocker, look no further than the ECS Rock Sliders for your E53. Our rock sliders are a combination of superior strength and OEM+ aesthetics, if you don't tell anyone they have been replaced they will never even know; they look that good!
Pro tip: If you are really trying to be stealth there is always the option to paint the exterior mounting hardware black before or after installation
Our ECS Rock Sliders are a multi piece design made up of the base mounting bracket components and a more-than-rugged exterior shell. The base layer is 3/16” aluminum for maximum strength while minimizing weight and sit flush against the body fastened to the installed riv-nuts that are included in the kit. An ingenious design utilizes brackets that mount both the factory front and rear trim extensions while also having mounts for the outside shell. The exterior shell is made up of 1/8" thick steel for a nearly bulletproof protection. All components are coated in a satin black powder coat for both durability and to match the original finish of the plastic trim.
