    Hey.:)
    A rare woodgrain delete Roadmaster , pretty cool.

    The best place to get used parts from is Fred, he lists in the parts for sale sections on the Impala SS and GM Longroof forums, dealt with him and he's a good guy, in Florida so the parts are clean. You could post in parts wanted on those sites too, guys are parting these wagons all the time, need 20 posts to post in parts wanted on the SS forum.

    http://gmlongroof.4umer.com/t2448-lots-of-good-parts

    http://www.impalassforum.com/vBulletin/

    They're both really good places to join if you have a '91-'96 Roadmaster, Caprice or Custom Cruiser wagon.

    I doubt you'll find new trim anywhere, best you can hope for is good used.
    The black pieces under the bumpers are called the radiator air deflectors, center, right and left, also no longer available from GM, can find them NOS/new on evilbay sometimes.
    If you get a rear wiper arm and and need the blade I recommend the AC Delco 8-417, won't pop off the arm when you open the window or scratch the glass when it turns sideways as the window opens like most of the replacements do.

    Good luck, isn't parts hunting fun?:)

    Another 'Pegger!!! Welcome!:Welcome:

    Bucks Auto wreckers on Springfield, The Tin Man, also, and most of the yards up around there. If its 'wagon-specific' that could be a dealer part. Just not many of those Buick Roadies around here.

    Also, check out Midnight Auto Parts on Redonda (Springfield changes to Redonda at the east end (toward floodway).

    Welcome to the forum! Nice Roadmaster man! The 90's GM longroofs are long one of my favorite wagons. :Welcome:

    Hey wow you're in the 'peg, nice wagon!
    Good luck on that trim, I stole the last good piece off the car at Midnight Auto!
    Seriously, there is a void a b-body parts cars here.
    I'd suggest hanging out on the impalass forum they have a wagon section.
    And ebay. I've got a '96 Caprice with the same colour scheme as your car. Dark Cherry Metallic.

    Your car looks like my cappy.:yup: Yup...Fred over on impalass forum will get it for you if he doesn't already have it. Your best bet is going to be the yards...they just don't make parts for us anymore.

    My suggestion would be chrome "smoothies", they have a sleek, clean look and fit dark colors so well. In the end it's your own personal taste however.

    Are you working on it yourself or farming it out?
