Ed,  if you can narrow what you mean down a little, I'm sure you will get some good responses.
 
And welcome, nice to have you aboard.

I've never had a big issue finding "appearance" parts aftermarket...wheels,floor mats,sill plate covers etc. Many of the vendors here have a decent selection IMO. These cars are 15-25 years old and not considered to be "classics/collectable"  I suspect in the future should the C4 become more collectable and more folks buy C4s to restore "demand" will increase and the aftermarket will follow with a larger '"supply". At least that's what I'm hoping for as a C4 owner.....I'd love to see the resale $$$ value riseBig smile
 
As far as engine performance parts go...heck it's a SBC the sky is the limit, how much do you want to spend and how fast do you want to go has been true for years....just sayin'Thumbs Up
 
Biggest issue I see is finding certain AC,steering,suspension and emission parts...if you're lucky sometimes you'll find GM used a specific part on other models also and can be used on our C4s. So far i've been able to locate any thing I've needed on my '96 thanks to the internet.

Say When-  You raise a good point-  Lots of GM parts will fit our Vettes;  It would be nice to have a cross reference for brakes, AC, electrical parts so that when the Chevy dealer can't help, you can go to the Buick dealer and ask for the same part by buick model and year.
Someone please tell me this cross reference already exists!!

But back to the OP's post-  what are you looking for that you can't find?? Sometimes it's there, just expensive!!  Shocked

Rarely indicted, never convicted
