mocking up the front end of my 68' charger and placing the bumperettes. I like the way they look, I think they break up all the horizontal lines nicely. Others think they look to truckish, I think they say ( Charger). Maybe shave them down a little so that lower angle isn't so large?

All a matter of personal preference, but I like 'em on. When it comes right down to it, it doesn't matter what others like...it's all about what you prefer. Enjoy.

I personally believe that 100% myself too but when it comes to restomods maybe others have better ideas or " different " ideas that would look good with a similar idea.

I think they scream 1970s, so I always have them on my cars.

I don't like them so I left them off, just a little weird and out of place for me but what do I know. They look good either way.
