I think they are all the same supplier and the Cuda ones do not fit very good and require some serious bending to make work.  The challenger ones are better though but...

So many places don't know where to start. www.yearone.com  is where I got mine the fit was good, no dramas.
You gotta have them, looks bare without them.  :cheers:

I installed the Year One repops - they fit up pretty well, but had some scuff marks on them; maybe from manufacturing.  Not show quality, but 1000x better than the junk originals.

I also used the ones from Year one.  They fit pretty good.....had to bend a little bit...but not much at all...I got them to fit pretty much perfect after my magic touch!  :thumbsup:

I bought the repros too. Not a perfect fit, but good enough that you can't really notice. I have to agree with NZ here. That was probably the first thing I put on my car, and I couldn't believe how much nicer it looked.  :wow:

If it helps, I have had fits at times with NOS ones.  The molding circumference and the wheel opening circumference were not the same.  I had to bend and work with them.  With that in mind the repops may not be too bad.  I do not know I have not used them.
