.....if that's even what it's called. The one on my '73 Challenger is sort of flared out (upper right corner of fender portion). I can bend it back over the plate, but it won't stay. Solution=heat gun? If not, I haven't seen anything online as to a source, except for a pair of NOS silver ones @ $295/each!! any ideas? Thanks!

So you don't have those black corner filler pieces at all, huh? Pretty sure my bumpers are '72. They're drawn in like yours. The corner piece has a couple of clips on the back side that go into the holes in the recessed portion of the front fender. Were yours filled in?

I just checked no holes The guy that did the sheet metal work and paint on my car had done a few cars before this one, and probably learned a few short cuts. Im sure that was one of them. I am no Challenger expert but those rubber filler thingy's have to be the stupidest after thought thing I have ever seen. If you can get the bumpers to fit I think its a much cleaner look
