Hi everyone, I officially bought myself a 1998 Monte Carlo Z34 with 85,000 miles for my new daily, there are a few small cosmetic flaws that I'm looking to fix but I've got se questions when it comes to the car

1. I can't find windshield seals or trim, I need to replace it and wondered if anyone knew where I can find them
2. I also need a new cowl and can't find that either, I haven't checked ebay yet but was still looking for some help
3. The tail light panel is all faded and I wondered if these were originally a gloss black or a flat black, I'd like to know so I can paint it
4. I'm not sure if the badges are supposed to be all black or if some are to be chrome, I've seen some Z34 badges red and didn't know if that was year specific, also wondered if anyone had new badges and bowties for sale
I appreciate any help I get and am excited to have the car

 

1. I can't find windshield seals or trim, I need to replace it and wondered if anyone knew where I can find them, check with the Glass companies to see what they could have, might be a universal thing they use.
2. I also need a new cowl and can't find that either, I haven't checked ebay yet but was still looking for some help. that could be best found at a Salvage yard or U-Pull it and the on on the Lumina should be interchangeable
3. The tail light panel is all faded and I wondered if these were originally a gloss black or a flat black, I'd like to know so I can paint it
Yep they do fade out and the new ones are somewhat glossy. I painted and clear coated mine. I will share a photo.
4. I'm not sure if the badges are supposed to be all black or if some are to be chrome, I've seen some Z34 badges red and didn't know if that was year specific, also wondered if anyone had new badges and bowties for sale
Well I de-badged mine and then put my version on it.


The rear panel with clear coat over black.

another Version I am playing with on a newer used Rear panel.

 

The trunk panel came glossy. You can try to use some rubbing compound and see if it helps, but painting it seems to be the best way.

The badges/letters are black. I have a '99 Z34 parts car and the letters are all black, but the bowties have a red outline.

 

here is a link to a new tail panel on ebay if you want to see what they look like new.
