Restoring an 87' Iroc-z vert

Iam new to the site and have q's
Iam looking for the three bulb third brake light lense and housing. Any ideas who would carry one?? They are hard to find !! Also the spoiler pieces on the top of the door. I have the passenger side but need drivers side. Are the polygraphite bushings worth the money?? My vert Needs most everything from bushings to front steering parts. Is the ride worse than stock? Is it any differen to a ride in a vert? Thanks for the help.

I would contact Hawks, he might have some of that... As for the extra pieces on the doors, 87 was the only year. So you might be SOL until you find them. You might be better off removing the other one to match then put it back when you find one..

As for the hard ride, Its going to ride hard anyways with the IROC package. I would think that the Poly bushings might make it ride a little harder but they last longer... I put poly bushings on my 87 and it rides harder than it did, BUT I also put KYB adjustable shocks & struts, and I boxed in my Lower control arms & Panhard bar AND I put on SFC's at the same time... drives on rails but it rides hard...
