rear louver picture request
« on: September 09, 2015 - 11:10:09 PM »
I would like to see some pictures of the rear window louvers on both challengers and cuda's. 

both on and off the car.     I would like a side by side comparison also.  Can someone help out?

thanks, lots of pictures there. 
 
Unfortunately I don't see any side by side comparison's.

Can someone confirm how they fit on the wrong model? 

I think I purchased a set that has ended up being a challenger set.  But I don't know enough about them to confirm that.

Challenger louvers have the bottom slat even width all the way across with a squared corner
 Cuda the bottom slat get much thinner in the lower corners & is curved

could be , I know the bottom slat gets very narrow in the corner of the cuda louver , the window are different widths between Cuda & Chall so if it doesn't fit those could be Chall

No, your aren't Challenger... Look at the bottom slat.. Challenger is fairly straight, yours is curved... I think you have Cuda Louvers that have been tweaked....

Check the pics from 71Cuda, you'll see Challenger louvers are super wide on a Cuda, you can tell the difference.

CudaHunter yours look correct.
Challenger bottom louver is wider.
Prop something under the bottom so they sit correct and look at them
