Bumper infill color
« on: January 09, 2006 - 04:34:17 AM »
I`ve had a search and only found one thread regarding this;
http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=9140.0

mine looks like it never had any paint on, kind of a dull greyish/silver colour front and rear. 

Can anyone confirm what it should look like?

I think it should be body color or blacked out like the rear panel!   :dunno:    Since your back panel is body color, that's what I would do with it!!   :thumbsup:

Don't know if there was a body color option, Mine were just gray, front & rear. Rich.

aha, so they were black (matt or satin, i assume) and they have weathered to nondescript aged grey finish. I can buy that.

Anyone got a pic of the original?

I found a couple of pics of my first Challenger, a 73 318 Rallye in JY3 in 89 right after a repaint. The bumper filler pieces were ordered from the dealer and installed as received.
