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

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.
