Do you want to just paint your bars or invest in repro Elastameric front and rear Challenger bars that you can paint  :bananasmi

The only way to do it "right" is to black out the grille and the tail panel and make the car an R/T clone because the bumpers top portion is actually painted black so it is two tone. If its an R/T you dont have much to do. I love the look of the elastomeric bumpers but do not want to make a clone out of my 71 Challenger so I have no real choice but to do chrome bumpers, or painted fiberglass. The painted fiberglass is a great way to do it but the look is not as good IMO. Very rare option and only a one year deal on Challengers which I didnt know until Barry posted the info. Hope this information helps some.

Are you talking about the lowrider on the Dayton wheels?  That's a photoshop.
