Bumper Filler Interchangeable??? Years???

Hey out there,
Been a while. Restoring a 1980 Oldsmobile 442. In need of a driver side front side filler piece. In searching, I saw one on Ebay for a Oldsmobile I think an 88. It looked identical in shape but not sure of size.
Does anyone know if these pieces are interchangeable for different models and years?? Even the 80 442 Front bumper filler is one piece and different from the 79 Hurst Olds I had which was a metal center and two plastic end pieces.
Would a 81-87 Cutlass piece work?
Thanks for anyone's help

This place might have something. I bought rear fender extensions for my '78 Toronado from them. Very pleased with the result.

bumper filler

I'm familiar with replica plastics.
I guess my question was, are there side filler pieces the same on other Oldsmobile models that may have the same fender and use the same filler piece?
Replica plastic is good but $45 shipping on a $49 item is a little extreme.

Shipping costs are not related to the value of the item shipped. Just buy anything from Fusick and pay $20 for "shipping and handling" for a $3 air cleaner decal that can be mailed in a first class envelope for 50 cents postage.

Shipping costs depend on the weight of the item, dimensions of the packaging, distance shipped, if any insurance is purchased, and method of shipping (air, ground). Vendors, such as Fusick, also often add "handling" charges. All of this is a fact of life in the old car hobby. If you need the part, you need the part.
