Need help locating windshield trim/alternative.

Hello guys,
So I have a 75 omega and I recently painted it and I want to get the chrome windsheild trim. I have found some but they cost $200+, being 16 I can't realistically pay for that let alone that $50 shipping because its a "specialty part". Anyways I was wondering if I could use a 75 Chevy Nova windshield trim, because the pictures of the trims look the same. Thanks in advanced

OK thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for the help I've been told that before but I couldn't remember.

Trim from any GM X body( Buick Apollo/Skylark, Nova, Pontiac Ventura/Phoenix and Omega) 75-79 will work. Get it from a 2dr car if you have a 2dr as 4dr trim is not the same.

OK, duly noted. And do you know if there was ever a 2 door Chevy Nova or not because the Ebay listings don't really say much.

Sure Nova was available in a 2-dr, so you'll need to check with the seller if it's not specified.

Oh, by the way, the shipping cost is high because the pieces are long and fragile and have to be packaged in odd-shaped containers.
