1987 IROC Z COWL TAG?

Hello,i know im on an impossible search but i guess i need to start somewhere. since they dont reproduce cowl/body tags anymore im trying to find some. i have a black 1987 iroc z lb9 5 speed car with tan color interior, i know all of this is legit as i have the original build sheet for the car. at some point before i owed the car some jackass removed the body number plate and the cowl trim plate i guess to paint the car but never put them back on??i have been trying to to find a scrap/parts 1987 irocz black lb9 5 speed car that i could get the plates off of.do any off you guys have any suggestions?thanks

87+ did not have a tag there (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the holes are artifacts in the stamping.

Correct. The '87s didn't have the same cowl plate that earlier cars had.
