I concur with Dave. The factory had issues with the rivets/bonding method for attaching the the inner heat shields to the hydroformed aluminum rocker panel/side pipe covers. The bonding locations created hot spots on the panel. (The rockers were a non-structural, decorative panel). They had a TSB on the earlier cars that allowed dealer replacement with new panels on the early cars. I still have a set of side-pipe covers for my '93 sitting in boxes. Probably worth a ton of $ now. My dealer didn't want to attempt to paint them to match, so I made them an offer they couldn't refuse: I said I'd be happy to paint them myself if they would just give me the panels. So as a result I have a spare 1992-94 set.
Good luck with the sale. These are really fun cars.
