Did any challengers come without rear bumper guards? I have seen some rear valances without the slots for them and i cant tell if they have filled/ shaved the slots. (and removed bumper guards)

They where there to protect the spring hanger and not so much for looks or whatever. I have a 73 Cuda that has the frame moved inward but haven't decided what I'll do with the hole. If we're talking the same thing. My Challenger also has the spring moved inboard. I just bolted mine back on the bumper.

ALL 70-74 Challengers and Cudas had rear bumper guards Even the 71 Rubber Bumper used the chrome bumper guard

Not really IMHO, the rear elastromeric bumper Cuda or Challenger needs those chrome "fangs" to dress off the ass end...here's the Diamante...looks a little naked back there...

Those "fangs" are supports, and if left off the bumper wobbles like crazy.
The bumper guard option was just rubber strips to protect the fangs. That orange Challenger would look better with them imho Bumper guards were not available on the rubber bumper

The whole point of elastomeric is for the monochromatic(no chrome)look... Which I believe greatly enhances the fuselage bodies... Being that the bumpers are already pulled into the body line to begin with... Similar in the E-body, but less pronounced... '71 E-body elastomeric is unique-chrome kills it... Here, even the bezels kill the look... (However, that CAN be rectified...

That's because that 71 runner combination was never available from the factory (71 runners didn't get the chrome tail light bezels and 71 GTXs which did get the bezels didn't come with the bumper/valance blackout)
