So, is this Cuda or Challenger? Part# says Cuda, but I've had several people suggest that it's a Challenger piece?

best I can tell, looks just like the one in my 'Cuda

I'll admit I'm not as familiar with Challengers, so what feature(s) makes them believe this is a challenger piece?

Thanks Tony, do any of you have a similar pic of a Challenger version so I can show someone the differences?

I bought one that had Challenger written on it from the factory and never looked at the part number till a couple of weeks later and it ended up being a Cuda one. I believe mine is the driver side.

Just want to suggest that the distance between the valance mounting holes looks small. Challenger having a shorter valance they could be different. I can check to makes sure if you need.

Sort of the same scenario here (long time ago mis-I.D.), the duct tape glue line you see on mine was the remnants of the tape stuck to it with "Challenger" written on it. I got it with some other parts so I didn't really care either way, but now I'm moving it so I wanted to be sure that I had it I.D'd correctly.

The drain hole opening location looks like the easy give away, it's a Cuda.

The biggest difference I think is, the very back where the tail panel sits, on a Cuda extension, it kinda curls up, and a Challenger will be flat back there..

Challenger also has a distinquished flat area just aft of the wheel well.
