It is about 1 1/2 inches wide, soft plastic, I believe 3 pieces. If I remember correctly it has screw holes on tabs about every 8 inches, on underside. I will try to post a pic. OK this is the best pic I have with only the end flaps showing. I painted mine black, they are gray from factory. maybe someone has a better pic, Walt

Thanks very much Walt I had no idea they came out that far on the sides...now I have a better idea...I saw one local to me last night on Kijiji belive it or not LOL.
Nice rims...I have the same ones, but now think I want to go with the old steelies and caps look
Thanks again Walt

You need one for a Cuda and NOT a Challenger. I think the Cuda ones are 1 piece. I'll try and find a picture but I don't think the Cuda one wraps around the ends of the fenders like the Challenger pieces do.

I just Googled 73 Cuda and found a picture that shows it. It is one piece.

You may luck out and find one but they can be very hard to find. You may be better off moving the bumper in to the 1972 possition so you don't need the filler strip. It is very easy to do.

If you look at the bumper brackets, you'll see some square holes right infront of the factory mounting holes. All you have to do is drill those square holes out to 5/8" and they become your new mounting holes.

My mistake burdar, you suggested to me to drill it out and I should have done it, still might next winter, walt

Thanks again
