cant find parts anywhere :(

I have a 1987 cutlass supreme brougham sedan and am having the hardest time finding front end parts is there a way to repair the front grill?

Most of those are for the 2DR, but there are several 4DR grilles in that list. Looks like asking prices are in the $25-$35 range. When dealing with a car that's nearly a quarter century old, you need to learn how to use the Advanced Search function on ebay when looking for parts, particularly for a less popular model like a 4DR.

Call ALL the yards - if you're familiar with someone at one of them, ask if they'll 'run it on the line' which will tell you who's got it, where, and how much! With about 200 yards, someone's gotta have it!
I can see grill damage, but is the header panel cracked? Missing pieces?
Just cracked is repairable - missing pieces is not!
It might be to your advantage to get a "loaded header" [with grilles and headlights] in case it ever happens again - if they're that hard to come by, already!

I just called one of my guys in Morris, and he says he can get a loaded header, from California, shipped for $500.
Cannot guarantee chrome not peeling, as they began 'self-destruction' at about 10 yrs. old, but would be complete!
Noone lists a grille seperatly, as they'd be wanted on a complete assembly!
Back then, the grille was available from the aftermarket - I'll check there, too.
