    Hmmm...I kind of don't think they were for fog lights.  Most of the time I would imagine using exisiting bumper bolt holes or drilling out holes.  There used to be brackets you could get to attach fog lights but I would imagine they would be under the bumper, not on top, as it added height.

    Might have been a parking lot boo boo (weird that it's spaced out evenly).....or Dukes of Hazzard brush guard?    :dunno:

    Agreed. Really hard to tell what we're looking at from that pic.

    I'd suggest lower and off to the side a bit so it's not so head on....

    Either way, doesn't matter, as I don't recall ANY Challengers that year that had Elastomeric (Spelling?) Bumpers painted body color...

    Someone had modded the front bumper for whatever reason. MAybe a good canidate for the "Hackjob pics" thread?
