Anyone have a good defrost grille? Blue would be preferred to avoid painting/dying the plastic.

Car is a '95 Caprice, not sure what years or other models are the same...

I will check, but no guarantee on the color. I think the 94-96 Caprice are the same. The RM has the sensor for sunlight saturation, and the Caprice does not.

clockwise the blue you have is 94-96. Any of them will fit though. The Buick does have the sensor but the defrost vent is the same physical size and will drop in....

That said, I have a blue one, but I was getting ready to paint it for my car as mine is broken. If you can find me a 94-96 maroon one I'll trade ya Smile (haven't bought the SEM dye yet).

Could you post a picture so I can check for fit/style.

That looks like a 91-93 part.

I have a light blue one for a Caprice. It has almost all of the clips along the edges, and is not cracked anywhere. How does $30 shipped sound.

I am 99% sure the car is all original and I know it's a '95... maybe they are all the same from 91-96?

Looks exactly like the one in my 95 that I got from Fred back in 2017.

Fred, we got the grille today, looks way better than the completely broken old one!

When the wife got home she went and installed it, color is a little different but close enough for now... I will probably dye it at some point for a closer match.

The color variation is about normal for a car that sits out in the sun.
