The part that I have circled there. What is it called, who sells it? Need a good one, mine has a crack.... Id call it a rocker but a rocker really is the plastic piece along the end of the floor board inside the door....

Rocker is the sheetmetal under the door. It looks like you are talking about the Ground effect panel (GFX) although it's hard to tell from the pic what you circled.

well although, that looks like the piece under the door. I mean the piece on the bottom of the door... specific to only the sport appearance package

Re: What the hell is this piece called and where can i buy one?
You'll have to look for a used piece, or fix what you've got...IIRC, the only part of that factory body kit that is currently available are the lower front fender pieces (which just became available again a few years ago).
That door piece seems to be broken on about half of the cars I've seen, including mine when I bought it. Usually a passenger gets out of the car, opens the door on a low curb, and then puts a nice hole in it. I ended up finding the best one I could (which was still cracked), and fiberglassing it back together.

You are going to be on the hunt for a complete used one, or repair the one you have.
I ended up buying two broken ones to end up with one good one after some creative repair work.

Re: What the hell is this piece called and where can i buy one?
Check your local pick n pull or pull a part whatever it's called where you live, maybe ebay or something. I went through this on a different type of car and it was a pain. a camaro should'nt be as bad maybe even check the classifieds on here they will probably have one
Re: What the hell is this piece called and where can i buy one?
That part comes in 2 pieces. Which one do you need? The part that attaches directly to the door or the rocker panel?
