Hmm, strange.  Yesterday Amazon did show me these were out of stock, but now it says delivery in about a week, with a price of $134.75 USD.  That's about $15 more than the ones from Josh's.  Well, if you're interested in these Amazon ones but you can't buy them directly for some reason (Canadian embargo???), then I'd be happy to buy them for you and ship them to you.  Again, I can't advocate the longterm durability of these, or Josh's, but these just feel much sturdier so that's the set I'm planning to use myself.

Here's something odd...You said the Seller on Amazon was "Southern Car Parts"....When I Google them, it comes up as side scoops for the "new" Challengers  :dunno:

it might be 2 different companies, Southern Car Parts vs. Southern Car Parts .COM?  Not sure.  By the way, at the bottom of the Amazon description for the ones I bought it says they are made of hard rubber.

I have a set. No idea of manufacturer.

This photo might help for placement. The second photo is an original set showing the factory studs.

Good timing, the Canadian dollar has been getting better the last few days.

REVIEW: They are nice and heavy, the stud seem pretty solid. What I did find is that the studs DID NOT line up with the new DMT gaskets holes, whether the gaskets are correct or not....who knows ?

I'm mounting these on a non-RT so I'm drilling new holes, whether or not these studs would line up with factory holes....I do not know.

I think they look good and I got 30% off of them at YearOne  :dunno:

Yep, had to be those gaskets were off :) Thanks Alan. I used a factory side scoop to reverse engineer them and then I test fit on a completely different set. They both fit well.

The fit is probably similar to the A and E body console overlays I make. They fit GREAT on factory stuff. Not so good on the reproduction stuff. But thats on the poor reverse engineering of the reproduction parts. Not me. I have stuff made for me. Many of overseas companies make stuff that "looks" good. But it's up to the company contracting the parts being made to actually check the CAD designs.

Oh, interesting, I just tried my Amazon link again and they now show these scoops are back in stock...
