Where the Parts at? plus Questions

i appoligize for posting so many questions, but hey, i got a lot of questions.

one: where can i get smoked or blacked out signal lights in the front.

two: where can i get the side signal covers(the yellow ones). i have one cracked and need a new one and can't find it on ebay or anywhere online.

three: where can i get the door moldings. i've searched everywhere online. my dad shuved wood screws into them when they were comming off a while ago, and i wanna put new ones on the right way.

four: where can i get a replacement antenna. or any antenna that would fit in the place of this one. this one is a joke. thanx to dad again.

------

five: i have a couple nasty rust spots. you know..that bubbly paint on the body...and i need to fix it. any things i should know?

six: sometimes, usually when i just fire it up and rev to around 2000 i hear flowing water behind the dash. what is this? pops tells me its the heatercore...is he right? should i worry about this?

seven: where is a good place for good rim and tire deals? i was gonna put new 16"s on in place of them sawblades...but i can't find a rim that makes that fat rubber look good.

EDIT: eight: what do i need to know about lowering my car an inch or so. what will i need to get/do.

for the questions about the parts, im postin it up in the "parts needed" forum thing, so you don't have to tell me to do that...but if you guys know any other places to get these parts, would be appreciated.

more questions to come, they just haven't come to my head right now.
thanx guys.and girls.

1. you can buy tint in a spray can and tint your stock corner signal lights

2. Junk yard or supraforums.com

3. refer to 2

4. refer to 3

5. if it is bubbling through the paint than it has most likely eaten through the metal. It will probably need to be cut out and have new metal welded in. I would leave this for a body shop.

6. HOPEFULLY it is just air bubbles in your cooling system. Park on a steep hill (front up, read going downwards). With the engine cold remove the rad cap, and turn the car on. Let the engine warm up and while it is warming gently squeeze the big upper rad hose (the L shaped one going from the rad to the thermostat housing). If you dont have a hill, jack the front of the car up, just dont go to much of an incline. If after you burp the air out you contunue to get air, check to see that the jiggle valve on the thermostat is in the right orientation. After that do a compression/leak down test and hope your head gasket is not blown.

7. probably local message boards with for sale sections.
