Need help locating parts for my 1987 Salon

My '87 salon was in a wreck a few years ago and I purchased back from insurance since it was a cream puff with 38,673 miles.
The pictures look worse that what the extent of the damage was.
Luckily the front frame and engine wasn't damaged, I found a donor car for a backhalf and front clip. I am now left with trying to find parts to bring it back to its original pristine shape. Does anyone know where I can find new exterior items such as chrome lighting and trim?
The stuff I have from the donor car is showing age and I would like to bring her back to its original state after it is painted this summer.
thanks

I think it very unlikely that items such as this for this car are made new by anyone. Parts like this will likely have to come from donor cars. Keep a constant eye on ebay for NOS pieces.

What he said.

You might find a few odds & ends here :

gbodyparts.com

I have the stainless lower front fender trim (NOS) .....
(bumper to wheel)

Unfortunately it's for the LH fender.

The good news is that the '80s Cutlasses were some of the best-selling cars ever. There's LOTS of them out there. You just have to find salvage yards that don't crush everything.

But my first stop would be the GM parts counter. There's a surprising amount of parts still sitting on dealer shelves out there. You'll have to find a parts counter willing to spend a little time searching. It helps immensely if you already know the part numbers you're looking for. You might want to invest in a parts catalog of the era.
