Re: 1989 Firebird Trans Am Convertible Third Brake Light ASC
Looks like my car in the pic 
I saw a 1989 with a regular GTA CHMSL bracketed into place a couple years back. Nobody was reproducing the parts. Don't know if anyone is now, either.
There was a 1989 convertible being parted out, but I think the "good parts" were already picked-over.
Have you asked Hawks to reproduce this?

Don't forget the black trim around the 3rd brake light housing. (yes my car has a lot of patina, It's as purchased)

Re: 1989 Firebird Trans Am Convertible Third Brake Light ASC
Some used the Ford part (1987 cars, perhaps?) but not the 1989. 1989 used a specific part, as pictured. OP is long gone, so who knows if they ever found their housing.
