I figured I would start a thread because after a lot of searching, I haven't seen too much discussion about a complete rocker replacement on the 3rd gen EL model.
I am going to do the passenger side this year because it is the worst, and the driver side next year or the year after depending on when it needs it. I ordered two of the same rockers for the passenger side from here...

They are around 30-50 cheaper than I could find anywhere else and they are the same part. Only "KEY" manufactures these as far as I can tell.
Credit to JExpedition07 for his posts and his image below showing that these rockers look like. I am going to have the body shop lengthen and make one rocker from the two so it works for the EL and install the complete outer rocker.
I will include before and after pics. The shop is charging me $1000 to do the job and I spent about $280 on the 2 rockers shipped. So I think I will end up about $1300 a side. I have a 2011 EL limited with 110k miles, I really like it so it is worth it to me to keep it in good shape.
