Default Rusty rocker fixes?

I need new backing plates and new rocker panels, anybody have good luck with quadra tech panels or is there somewhere cheaper? not afraid to do a little trimming to save money. also what are my other options? not looking for them boat slider things though

Alotta guys cut out what is there and weld in a piece of rectangular tube.

It can be done fairly easily and cheaply. And it will last.
