anyone have a close up of an 87 iroc's front parking lense....i wanna compare it to mine to see if it is the same size...thanks
bub

 

Best I could do.

 

They are the same....

 

alright cool, thanks

 

Like i told you bubba, call the dealer and get a part# to be sure. I know that not all years were the same! Just compare part#s. I already gave you the telephone # to Lakewood Pinebelt in the other post that you had asked in. Pine Belt should be no more than 15min from where you are.

Those models are the same.

82-84 had a different style.

 

OK!

 

why do you want to know?

well... if you just want to put 87 parking lenses in i would just smoke the ones you got...

 

They don't look the same to me, I don't know what ytour guys are smoking. I am pretty sure they are differant and not even remotly interchangeable.

In fact I am certain they are differant.

 

they look the same to me

 

The ones on the iroc are flush with the bumper cover, the other ones are receeded. Also the iroc ones are wider and not as tall.

 

mine aren't flush, they're pushed back some, as far as the dimensions, I'm not sure.

 

All i know is that when i ordered mine the guy had asked me my specific model and year b.c he said that they were different. Now, does this mean that the ones bubba wants will not fit, i do not know, that is why i posted what i did. Trying to save the kid some hassle by just asking when ordering, no harm in that! But what do i know or care, right? Its not my car.

 

No need to get all jumpy, though with the net, it's hard to interpret one's typing, sorry if I misinterpreted.

I'm not sure if they're the same, I'm just sayin that they look similar....

 

yeah alright ill just call pine belt to see if i can get clear ones......sorry 86IROCNJ forgot u told me that thanks though

 

Not getting...too testy! lol I'm just trying to save him some time b/c i hate when i get parts that don't fit/work or they are the wrong thing. Its so time consuming and frustrating. They do look identical though, just better to be safe. IMO good luck

 

They're not the same. They're not even close. I don't understand why you guys can't see that from the pics. The IROC has a clear lense and an orange bulb. The Sport Coupe has an orange lense and clear bulb. They're not even the same shape.

If you need clearer pics with a measuring stick or something to believe me, I'll take pics of my sport coupe today. I can probably get to my IROC tomorrow for pics.

 

I believe ya, I just thought the size and shape were the same, guess I'm blind.

 

Side by side....... much easier to see.

AJ

 

Yup not the same .. i tried. I thought they were, so i took one of a SC at the junkyard and wont fit. I even posted it a bit ago too.

I just ordered the correct ones. Ill try and take pics of both off thecar when they get here

 

They look the same size wise....

 

ok im still gonna call the dealership but does anyone know off hand if i can get clear ones for an 87 sport coupe?
thanks
bub

 

If they are not interchangable like you/we had thought, then i doubt there are ones from the factory. I do not recall seeing any aftermarkets either. You could always "make" them fit but with that brand new paint job i doubt you would want to go backwards and do body work now! Why do you want them so bad? I think the car looks good with the OEM lights. Keep it original looking for that "sleeper" effect if you wish to go faster down the road. Leave it how it sits now, it looks good!

 

Look closer at AJ's pic and you can see that they are not the same shape. Seeing them in person will also help you see that they aren't the same size either.

 

just that the clear lenses would blend in better with the white paint because the orange ones stick out pretty bad
