That is one particular part that you never see originals for sale. You definitely have to go aftermarket, which kinda sucks. I can honestly say I've never seen an original set for sale anywhere.

I've seen several sets for sale but they are always damaged.

Whats the best way to identify if they are original?

One of mine was intact, the other one I had to splice together from 3 pieces. That was 20 years ago. They were on the bottom of the car so got damaged easily.

they are a cast part, made of the same material as SHAKER bubles, other hood scoops, Charger R/T door scoops, etc. (most/all reproductions are fiberglass) - so the original's back-side has detail & a part number

@ RUNCHARGER, do you have any tips for restoring a set in multiple pieces?  Do you remember what you used for bonding material?  Did you have to reconstruct any missing sections along the bottom edge?

Cuda_mark

Anyone have a good original set they are looking to unload? PM me if you do.

RUNCHARGER

I used fibreglass reinforced by window screen as I recall. Pretty easy to use a couple of boards to keep them straight when bonding them. Pretty sure I jigged up the screw holes as well with a board on the bottom.

Found this on the back of one.
