Better performing, yes. Better looking? Not from any angle. That's simply an opinion.....

Is it possible our like or dislike for styling is dependent on whether a vehicle as a high- or low-compression engine? The chunky bumper guards and bumper fillers, on the 1973 - 1974 B & E-Bodies, hurt the styling.
China is the enemy.

I used the 70-72 shorter bumper brackets to pull the bumpers in.

I didn't like the fish mouth grille on the 72-74 Challengers at all. Agree. But most grilles when down-hill when they started molded plastic, as opposed to nice anodized ones. Just a cheaper made part molded.
