1980 Pontiac LeMans Misc Parts Interchangable with....?

I'm usually not a big fan of the 81 nose, but that looks really nice....and clean!
If you are looking for the wheel trim that goes all the way around and down to the bottom of the 1/4 panel, that would be a Lemans only trim piece. The Grand Am and Grand Lemans only curves around the top half of the wheel opening and connects the belt molding onlong the side.
I dont think the Bonneville trim would work.

EDIT: after looking at the craigslist thread, I'd say the bonneville trim is the same as the Lemans

Thanks everyone! It looks like Bonnewagon has the same wheel well trim. What years would those particular Bonnevilles run? There were probaly more of those produced than there were LeMans.

I had to hunt down the full wheel trim around the opening for my wagon. They were NOS pieces. The trim for this style molding is the same for the Bonneville as the Lemans, although they had different GM part numbers. (can't remember what they are) Mine had instructions to "trim" as needed at the belt-line for the type of trim as seen on your car, instead of running all the way to the bottom as on my car. I don't know if the belt-line trim is the same as a Grand Lemans, but I would guess it is. Nice looking car, I love the silver!

Here's two shots of the same car,bone stock, with different noses. The car is an
'83, and the black fender trim was not there originally. The nose is from an '84, and I carried the black trim piece over to the fender because it was one long piece. The '81 nose I got without the correct fender piece, but I saved the black fender sections to add later, maybe painting them silver to match the nose trim.

The rear wheel opening molding is differnt from a 4-door and wagon. I used one off a wagon on my 4-door, had to cut and modify it. By the way nice lookin rig. Glad to see theres more of them out there. I have a 78 2-door that had a frame off resto back in 2000. Shes back on the rotisserie as we speak. Gettin a stroked 6.0LS, EFI with T56 and 9inch. My 4 door is a sleeper, with a 425 hp sb 350. Runs 12.40's all day on cheeter slicks. Both are 78's. I am from eastern Canada as well, Cape Breton.

I've always like the '81 LeMans because of the one year only front end. It also reminds of the '77 TA. They aren't easy to find by any means.

Hi guys. Hello from eastern Canada. What years and models would I look for, to find this piece of missing chrome(painted black), for my right rear fender well? Btw, I've allready found the right rear trim ring and center cap. And no, she's not being used in the winter. I just took her out of the garage one day.

I like nice lemans
