    Thats what I am trying to figure out challenge or aftermarket.

    Do you have any photos of a challenge bumper ?

    If it is fiberglass then it is most definitely after market...

    Original Ferrari Factory CH bumper is carbon fiber....it also does not have any mounting points for fog lights.

    Factory CF bumper before painting weighs approx. 9-9.5 lbs....if my notes are correct

    Johnny another thing that sticks out(no pun untended) is the side marker recess is not molded into the bumper....the light is just surface mounted.
    This may be a euro reproduction as the USA repro units have the recess area.

    The oem front skirt of my 98 challenge looks certainly different. You can see lots of kevlar on the unpainted inner part and it's a LOT lighter than the standard gfk ones. From my pov yours is certainly not an original challenge part.
