Tell your dealer the parts you are missing are
from the parts list under COOLING - Group 7 - Grille and Related Parts
The parts are called "Panel - Under Hood Appearance - Right and Left"

Sorry - I don't have parts numbers for the Challenger yet.

Theyre two black flat plastic covers that go between the support crossmember that holds the hood stops/bumpers and the nose of the car. Part 18 from the diagram:

Thank you sir. It was fresh in my mind from doing a grille swap on my wifes Charger R/T.
Replaced the stock chrome grille with the black honeycomb SRT8 grille. Shes happy with it.

Please post this problem somewhere at the redletterdodge blog www.redletterdodge.com. In my opinion this is unacceptable and if it's made front and center there dodge will be quicker to up the quality control. Imagine if more than just a cover was missing.
