95 bonnevile grill is it interchangable
Happy NEW YEAR folks,
I was on hear about 2 years ago. I lost my 97 40th anniversary edition in a T-Bone accident. Well I moved on and got a 97 SHO, but I recently just bought my girlfriend a 95 Bonneville SE. She has got a cracked grill And I a having a hard time finding a used one on ebay. I wanted to know if Her grill is interchangable with any of the older grills or any of the grills from her year?

Grilles from a 93 SLE and 94-95 SE can be used on your car. 92 SE and some 93 SE used a different grille design but will work on your car. A grille form a 92-95 SSE or SSEi will not work

Not quite right.
Any 92-95 SSE or SSEi grille WILL work on a 95 SE.
92 and 93 SE will not work, but 93 SLE will.
Actually, the 92 and 93 SE Grille will work, but they look totally different. It'* the same hood and all. If you give me your color, I can give you a GM part number to buy a pre-painted grille for about 80 bucks.

If you don't want to spend the big bucks on a new grille you can also check out www.car-part.com for a cheapie.
But if you want to drool get the paint code to will and he'll give you the part # to order the new grille from www.gmpartsdirect.com

To take things further, the only thing making a 92/93 SE grille with the different logo not exaclty the same fit is the grille brackets being a different part number, so if you wanted to put these on any 92-95 SSEi, SSE, or 94/95 SE, all you'd have to do is make sure you get the grille brackets with the 92/93 donor SE grille.
This is fully researched and backed up. 92-95 SSE/SSEi grilles WILL work, as well as 94/95 SE grilles, and all these will look IDENTICAL and work perfectly. 93 SLE grilles have a slightly different insert, but will fit perfectly.

I believe that they are 2 different grille inserts for 93-95 there is a 93-95SE/SLE and then a 92-95 SSE/SSEI grille. The SE/SLE grille is like honeycomb insert and the SSE/SSEi grille is like a oval insert
so....... i can get pics if do desired of the different grilles

I've already stated the different look of the grille insert in a post above. And the issue here is fit.
Quite frankly, he'* not going to have an easy time finding an SSEi to get a grille from, nor an SLE for that matter. And the SSE isn't going to be much easier. He'* most likely going to find a donor 94/95 SE at a wrecker.
BonneMeMn, unless you have some magical proof of what you claim, please don't confuse this issue further. The topic author isn't going to know which end is up.
