92 Eldorado parts help ?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: bob2231

Hi guys (and Ladies)
I just registered and wanted to combine saying hi with a parts request.
I have a 92 white pearl Eldo with blue carriage top I've had it for about 18 months and have done most of the more important repairs, but now I'm getting hung up on cosmetic stuff. It's all dealer available, but I'm trying to avoid that price tag.
I need the 3 chrome strips from the top of the front bumper. I really need the center and right side pieces, but all 3 would be ok too. And I can use a hood ornament. I have one, but apparently 1 point was broken so someone cut the other side to match. It worked, but looks kind of..................odd.
If I can ever come up with the parts, I'll post some pictures. But right now I'm not that proud of how it looks.
Thanks
Bob

Hi Bob, I take you don't have any luck looking on Ebay Motors?

No, not so far. I've found other things but these are just on the 92-94 models I think and it really cuts down the possibilities.
But it's not like the car won't run with what I have. I'd just like it to look better.

Don't forget a lot of 1987-1993 Buick Riviera parts work as well

i had that same problem with mine when i had it. You'll probably have to get them from the dealer. I spent about a month hunting them myself, i found three eldo's in junkyards but the trim was gone on all of them.apparently it's a design flaw, both sides of mine fell off eventually.when you do find em put some tough glue on them at the front when you put them on or every once in a while you'll still have to push them back in.

I think you're probably right. When I see parts on Ebay, I write to the seller and ask about what I need. So far no luck, but asking is free. I'll probably end up at the dealer though.
