That part for this style Challenger is actually part of the fiberglass headlight bucket for the nose of the car.

On prior years, 1970/1971, there were separate aluminum trim pieces.

What's wrong with your that you need to replace them?  :clueless:

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

I believe the parts you are referring to are in this picture, part of the fiberglass headlight bucket which is on one assembly with the grill/nose.

The fiber glass ones have a lot of craks, looks terrible. these details can comprimise the whole look.

Welcome to the site Marcio.  :wave: You can grind out the cracks and the easiest way to repair them is to use a short thread fibreglass filler. We refer to the local brand as "Tigerhair" . Good luck
