APR Carbon Fiber Rocker Extensions
2013–2016 Scion FR-S
FS-521008
Overview:
The APR Carbon Fiber Rocker Extensions for the 2013–2016 Scion FR-S are precision-engineered aerodynamic components designed to enhance the vehicle’s handling and stability at high speeds. These side skirts serve as an essential upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved downforce and traction without compromising weight. Crafted from lightweight carbon fiber composites, they provide a perfect blend of durability and performance, making them ideal for track days, spirited driving, or anyone looking to elevate their FR-S’s aerodynamic profile.
By controlling airflow along the sides of the car, these rocker extensions reduce lift and prevent turbulent air from rolling underneath the chassis. This aerodynamic tuning results in increased high-speed stability and improved cornering grip, helping drivers achieve faster lap times and a more confident driving experience.

Construction & Design:
The APR Carbon Fiber Rocker Extensions are crafted from premium carbon fiber composites, known for their exceptional strength and lightweight properties. This material choice ensures that the extensions add minimal weight to the vehicle while providing robust resistance to impacts and environmental wear. The manufacturing process involves precise molding techniques to achieve a flawless finish and consistent quality.
Each rocker extension is designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind, featuring smooth contours that guide airflow cleanly along the vehicle’s lower sides. This design minimizes turbulence and lift, contributing to a more planted feel during aggressive driving. The extensions are finished with a clear coat that highlights the carbon fiber weave, adding a subtle yet striking visual upgrade to the FR-S’s exterior.
Performance & Sound
While primarily focused on aerodynamic improvements, the APR Carbon Fiber Rocker Extensions contribute indirectly to enhanced performance by stabilizing the vehicle at high speeds and improving cornering traction. This results in more predictable handling and the ability to carry higher speeds through turns. Although these extensions do not affect engine sound, their contribution to vehicle dynamics can enhance the overall driving experience.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the APR Carbon Fiber Rocker Extensions is straightforward and designed to fit the 2013–2016 Scion FR-S without the need for modifications. The package includes all necessary mounting hardware—screws, nuts, and washers—to securely attach the extensions to the vehicle’s rocker panels. Installation typically requires basic hand tools and can be completed by experienced enthusiasts or professional installers. Proper alignment is critical to ensure optimal aerodynamic performance and a clean factory-like appearance.
