Enlarged trim on front end
« on: March 17, 2006 - 09:08:18 AM »
Look at the trim on the front end. It looks enlarged. I really like that look. Anyone know how this is done?

That's a rare option for 71 Challengers only. Have fun finding a set.  :money:  :money:  :money:

I think you got the rear hood and fender trim with that option also.

Again, it only works for the 71 Challenger, or I would try to put it on my 70.  :grinyes: You see used pieces on E-Bay once in a while, but almost never a complete 3 piece set. I know NOS sets have gone for $1200-$1500.  :22yikes:  :22yikes:  :22yikes:

Actually when the fender tag on my 71 was decoded I was told that the code was M44 for those mouldings as my 71 has them on it! and I just won an e-bay auction for the right side NOS and I paid $100.00 apparently I am told I was REAL lucky!! If you are patient and buy them piece at a time you can probably get them pretty reasonable!!! just my  :2cents: that what I have seen the auctions ending at!! good luck I agree with you they are neat looking I am real glad mine came stock with them!!!  :bigsmile:

you can usually find the fender parts,but for some reason the hood piece is very hard to find,luckily i found a decent hood piece on ebay (only had 1 dent and all the studs broke off) for 250.00.have 2 sets now,the other hood piece is broke in half,would like to try to get it fixed.took 4 years to get these pieces.
