Don't love the look of these. Are they hard to remove? Mine are all there and in excellent condition but I'm considering removal.
Thanks!

Pretty sure he was looking for Challenger ones, not Cuda.

They are screwed on to the car. Pull out the rubber strips to reveal the screws :alan2cents:

@1 Wild R/T and @anlauto, yes I'm looking for the challenger ones and have zero experience on the Cuda ones. Thank you both for remembering me. Much appreciated as I continue my search. Also, don't these look like after market?

Looking at the ends of each piece, they appear to be aftermarket. Could they applied with adhesive?

Does your car have the fender tag?  If there is a V5X on there, then the guards are factory.  Challengers were held on with welded studs and clips.  See picture.  I'm not sure about Plymouth.  If you take them off, let us know how they were held on.  Don't toss them, they can be sold.

All aftermarkets that I have seen were adhesive, to me yours do not look to be aftermarket.

Those are factory 1973-74 style which I'm now learning are different from the earlier ones.

@anlauto if it matters (and it may be different), on my 70 Challenger each of the 6 pieces has a threaded stud/t bolt at each end that gets nutted on with nylon snap clips through the middle portion.

V5x
Yep. Everything on the car seems original so I'd expect these to be as well.  They just draw too much attention to that body line and not the swoop of the rear quarter. I'll get em off pretty soon. I'll be preserving them best I can.
Thanks for the help!
