Yes it is. Two strips,one on top one on the bottom from end to end. These mouldings are formed to fit over the top edge of the existing rocker panel and have a nice flat area at the top that gives it a high end look. Also, they wrap under the originals for a clean molded look. Best of all they are one piece without the seam that looks unattractive. I'll post some pic's of what I described tomorrow. I am more than pleasedwith the results.

Photo is looking down at trim. Notice the thickness.
This is a photo showing the underside,notice how it is shaped to match the rocker panel. Sorry for the poor quality photo,too much reflection from the driveway. I still do not have pricing for TBN Members but am working on it.
I have a small SS clip that fits over the seam of my SS rocker panels. It hides the seam, and unless you really look hard it's pretty invisible, but I like this one piece rocker panel much better. I'd be interested in this as well, although I'm not so sure I'll ever be able to get the ones off I now have on the car. I've read of some real horror stories about people here trying to take them off.

Ray, unfortunately, the "horror stories you've read about removing the crappy two piece QAA's are TRUE.
When I decided to remove the ones from my car, it quickly became clear that it was going to be impossible to remove them. The only alternative left to get rid of them was to order new rocker panels from my Ford dealer...

I didn't get mine from QAA. It was from another place, but I can't remember anything but the person's first name, which is Paul. I agree, I don't think there's any way to get them off.
