Front Plastic Wheel Wells

[pontiacgp]

I have one cracked so I need to replace it, are all the G body wheel wells the same?

Thanks

Pretty sure theyre all different.

I thought that and but I can't figure out why they would be. They must have some interchangeable with other G bodies

Inner wheel wells vary by year even within a given G body model. My guess is that the complexity of the injection molds did not allow for 1 standard, fits all part for all G body models. Difference in fenders may also play a part.

I use car-part.com to check what is interchangable but there is no listing for this part in their list. Is there another name for this part?

100.00 plus the northern lights adjustment either side,and yes they are gp specific.if it is just a crack I would just glass and give it the “ocd warren” treatment?

Steve,
Maybe look into the plastic welding method if the crack isn't too pronounced.

There is more than one crack and a few missing pieces, it got busted way back when the lower ball joint broke. It's been on my mind to change it and I thought it might be an easy find since I assumed GM would cheap out on mass producing the same ones for all the G bodies.. I have passed by a few Grand Prixs in the yards looking for other parts and never considered the wheel well cause I thought they were all the same and I could get one when I finally got around to it. I'll keep looking till one pops up. I'm kinda lucky with things like that. The wheel wells that Regal8r has are nice but with the 30% exchange on the $ and the shipping of an oversize box would kill that deal.

Steve if you have trouble finding one let me know....I know of a wrecker that had at least 3 Grand Prix's the last time I was there.

I guess it would be prudent to wait until you found a good one. Shipping one from the states would be a deal breaker. I'm sure even from the west coast of Canada, it still would be costly to ship, I would surmise.
Kevin might be your man.
