    Do you mean something like a bra?

    I've honestly never seen an E-Body with a bra.   :grinno:

    Neither have I.... but you can get them for the new Challenger...
    I honestly believe it would look good together with the billboard stripe, IF IT WAS MADE CORRECTLY...the fabric ideally should follow the inward contours of the grille...

    But the market would be limited indeed...

    I found this on ebay not what you want but maybe a lead?.....1970-71 DODGE CHALLENGER FRONT BRA AWESOME QUALITY  Item number: 261064325666    You are bidding on a very nice used front bra for a 1970-71 Dodge Challenger.  I bought this for my 1970 Challenger, used it sparingly and have since sold the car no longer needing it.  This bra is made in the USA by a company that specializes in exact fitting covers.  This 2 piece bra fits like a glove and stays in place at any speed.  There are no rips or tears.  Just a few bug stains.  I paid over $300 when I had this bra made.  I DO NOT believe that this bra will fit 1972-74 Challengers due to the larger bumper guards that were used in these years.  Please email me with any questions on the bra.  Thanks for looking!

    According to the details, it looks like a one off, custom made deal. 

    If you really want one, this might be your only chance to get one for a a lesser price than a new one.  :2cents:  Not sure how it looks.  Maybe contact the seller to see if he has any pics of his car with it on.  :dunno:

    They're great at catching dirt/dust between the bra and paint...then the wind allows it to sand the paint going down the road. I rather clean bugs.  :2cents:
