    Yes the rear ones that go between or below the valance and the bumper guard.

    Sorry, I can see the bumper guards, but not the plastic (or rubber?) filler pieces in the pic.

    Sorry, you lost me. How about a drawing of what you want or a pic of what you need.

    I'm out to lunch on this one too.  :clueless: The bumper guards fit inside the rear valence panel, but there is no filler. The bumper guards attach to the bumper, and valence panel. Can you possibly post a picture of what you are  missing?

    Isn't it just a piece of bent sheetmetal that screws to the bottom of the taillight panel and tucks into the back portion of the bumper? :dunno:  I've seen those on '70s, so '71s must use them too.  I think this is what you're talking about.  I always thought the '73-'74 Challengers were the only ones to receive an actual plastic piece that goes between the body and the bumpers. ('cause they stick out way too much)

    I think so. I never paid attention to them on challengers, but I definitely know what the ones for cudas look like.I am assuming they should be there like the cudas.

    Never had them on Challengers, didn't need them. The Dodge boys cared a little more about fit and finish.
    Rob :crying:  Wah, My cuda pieces don't fit right, Wah

    Those pictures are of the rear of my Challenger...........
    When the question was first posed I was thinking about the bumper fillers on 73-74's.  I kind of just considered these as the back part of the bumper guard.

    Okay,   Sorry, I never parted a '71.   I had every other year and didn't know Challengers had that spacer.  What did they do in '71 to cause that gap?     I have a '74 that I'm pushing into the body to get rid of those goofy 8" bumper guards.
