well while i was sleeping some a$$ backed into my car and took off. luckly he only smashed the grille. so ive been looking for a grille at wreckers and there are none for my car a 1989 olds 98 regency brougham. does anyone know if theres a diffrent grille to fit it like a buick lesaber grill or something along the lines of that.i figure a more popular car with the same body style would make things easyier

Ouch. Thats actually kinda hard to find. Olds 98's aren't as common as olds 88's were. Any luck on Ebay?
Off the top of my head, I don't think the grille of another C-body woud work, but you could try one off a Park Avenue of the same vintage. PA's are kinda hard to come by sometiemes too though...

Yeah, its really a tough call. GM changed out the front headers so much on the H and C body cars because they were cheap and could make a car look very different for cheap, while still being able to mass produce them year after year.

New OEM parts are always expensive, especially from the $tealership. Junk yards are your friend.
