Hi,all. I'm currently installing my rear valance,valance corners and bumper mounts. I mounted the rear bumper it check the fit with the quarter panels and the other parts.And I discovered that the quarters needed to come in some more,great I have to drill out the welds I already did.
So the problem is I don't know how far should the bumper be away from the quarter panel? I've check picture on-line ,but it's not always easy to see,and the only other charger that I can go and see,I'm not if it's the best.

Well yes and no.It does,but the one thing I need to know is how far out does the bumper come from the car on the side?

I'll grab a few pictures of mine if I can....the back of my car is pretty buried in boxes.

Sorry, I just went out and check my Charger and there is a pair of seats sitting up against that portion of the quarter & bumper.

Ya,that it.Because the ass end of my car was so screwed up,it's hard to know up from down.This give my a good idea where it should be.
It looks like the inside edge of the bumper should be equal with the quarter panel.I plan to do some more work on that area today.
