So, hello everyone! I'm new to the forum, since I recently obtained a 1978 Grand LeMans (hence the totally original ID) with a 305, and its almost fully loaded... but its still missing a couple options that I'd like, and others that just need to be replaced. It's all minor trim, but hey, attention to detail. Please excuse any of my incompetencies, I'm new to A/G-Bodies.
EDIT: Leaving the original post so anyone in the future finding this thread can make sense of replies, but changing what I'm still looking for:
Where a right side chrome mirror, OEM or reproduction, or a very similar looking mirror, can be found for preferably less than $50. Basically as cheap as a quality product can get, as I don't really want to put a fortune into trim that I don't necessarily need,
And to anyone who owns or knows about X-bodies; will an X-body trunk lock cover work fine on a G-body?
ORIGINAL POST:
So here's what I'm looking for (That I haven't already found):
The "PONTIAC" name script on the nose, as I literally cannot find a single letter anywhere. Is it better to just have them made, or does someone know where I can source them?
The RH side chrome mirror; Are there any models that these are shared with? Nothing shows up when you search for LeMans mirrors specifically, but I always get hits for Firebirds, El Caminos, and Malibus of the same vintage.
And finally, a probably dumb question: Are the trunk lock covers (the uppermost piece that actually flips) and the center hood ornament pieces the same part? I'm assuming no, but hoping yes haha, ornaments are all over eBay cheap if so.
Please note I'm not actually buying any of these now, probably in the next couple months. I'm just trying to find where I can find this stuff.
Thanks in advance!
