Okay guys my front and rear bumpers on my car stick out like a sore(you know what)I am missing the filler panels,but I just want my bumpers to hug the body like the 70-71 Cuda's doo! My ques is what would you guys suggest is the easiest way to get the look I want for my 73,do I have to get all different bumpers? Do I slot my bumper brackets? Which year bumpers will work with my car? Mas sells fiberglass bumpers but they can't tell me what bumper brackets that I could use! They would be slick painted body color!
Thanks

I wanted the sucked in bumpers for my 73 Challenger too. I was able to bolt on the 70-71 bumpers and brackets, and I'm pretty sure you could do the same with your cuda.

i dont know about cudas but on a 74 charger we used 71 brackets and it sucked them in perfect plus was able to get rid of that junk rubber filler strip, would probably work the same on a cuda.
