I have one.  See my build thread for pics and post 316 for how I mounted it.

http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=28465.0

It doesn't come with any sort of mounting brackets or bolts, so you're on your own.  I built my own to save weight, but in theory you could use the stock brackets?  :dunno:

It fits good but not perfect.  Mine needs more adjusting and some sanding to fit better.  It fits really well on the passenger side and OK on the drivers side.  Overall I bought it for the look and the light weight so I'm happy.

I've been thinking about getting one of those too. The issue is that the 71 front valance is different than the other years and the elasto bumper is shaped to line up with it. If they make a 71 specific one I'd be all over it but I keep forgetting to check
1972 Cuda 340 4 barrel 4 speed that looks like a 71
2006 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona
2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4X4
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible (Kidmobile)
1972 Dodge Charger 318 auto
1970 Challenger 440/727 auto
1973 Plymouth Duster 340/auto (Making it Panther Pink for the wife)
2006 Honda Civic Hybrid (It doesn't save gas, it just diverts it to the Cuda/Challenger)
