Now that would make that car look much better.  Especially since it already has the cuda body and doesn't have the true challenger crease on the sides. 
 Awesome!!

that and me behind the wheel LOL

of all the E-body `Cudas'  I like the '71 the least, but I want one of
these grilles when I get my new Challenger..

nice thing is it will make it look totally different than 99.7% of the other Challengers out there
and should be fairly easy to install..

Nice way to deface a Challenger if you ask me. 

cudahunter, I dont get where you're coming from?  The 'cuda has a straight bodyline down the middle of the car.  The new Challenger has a curved one, just like the original.

[GoodysGotaCuda]

The new one has a veeeeery subtle body line that curves in comparison to the original. The 1/4s look more cuda than they do challenger to me..Compare my sig to the new one.

[71bigblock]

Subtle, yes, but any Mopar guy is gonna notice it.  The 'Cuda quarter window lines are much sharper than the '09.

they are building and mocking it up. I sold this company that grille about 5 weeks ago. this car is going to be modified into a Cuda. they will be working on the side panels next. they used just the center section and graphted it over the challenger grille. Filled in the ridge where the c-trim goed it looks like.

I am reallly speaking more of the crease that the challenger has in the middle of the body line, the old challenger.  The new challenger is smooth all the way down just like the old cuda.  I looked through my pics and I don't have a good picture of the crease.  The crease that goes from the front of the car all the way to the back.  That is really what am talking about.

I know what you mean. I've owned both and much prefer the old Challengers as far as fitting big tires on the rear. The Challenger body lines are much more big tire friendly. It's like comparing the '67 Charger to the '69. There really is no comparison for tire clearance. Of course that depends on your definition of "Big".

[Autoguy]

The New Challenger has the kick up in the body line like the old ones did. It is NOT straight like a Cuda.

These stripes follow the line and maybe it will make it easier to see....

['Cuda Hunter]

Okay, still think the 71 grill looks better.

you mean the scalloped bodyline? i havent see the new chally, but by the looks of it, it doesnt have quite the sharp edge or scallop to it. i now see what you mean by the subtleness of the lines being more cudaesk. but the flow down the body is challengeresk.
