And here is the way Chrysler did it. With overspray onto the bright area and a bare grille center.

Nice to see this one back up at the top of the pile again. Looking good Dave as ever.

And you wouldn't believe the hassle I have had getting the bumper on and looking straight(ish). Two nights I have spent getting the plastic bumper to fit anywhere near right.

I purchased the car in 1989 with front end damage caused about 6 years previous to that. A fiberglass front bumper was an easy and quick way to replace it. Once I had the car for a little while it grew on me. I quite like the look and it makes my Challenger different to most of the others.

I don't know if it makes the car any faster. But it certainly helps with front/rear weight distribution.

Damn! I've been working in my slippers again.

Wor lass will kill me.

Not without a very wide lens or a bigger garage.

It will not be long before it gets backed out into the open air (onto the drive at least). Couple of weeks maybe.

Better with the black grill, it's a really nice contrast with the body.
Lovin it
