Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
I sent both of your requests to Steve Allen vetsteve@AOL.com.  He is a lifetime member but does not get on a lot anymore.  He owns a C3/C4 small junkyard here in San Diego. 

I will let you guys know what he comes back with.  You can contact him yourself if you want.  He had a set of original 82 Collector glass tops when I need them. That was a real find for me.  I traded him my two mismatching tops plus cash for the two correct ones.

M1131 t-tops aren't cheap. This is due to finding a matching hue. The sun faded the blue tint and since some cars sat outside and some sat in a garage the fade factor is different. 

I had the same issue years ago. Cracked D.S top and a good P.S. top. I wound up buying a set of black Galaxy glass tops from a guy named Derek. He owns CorvetteTtops.com. 

Here is a link to his web site http://corvettettops.com/88-90%20m-1131.htm

When your shopping around for a top be sure to check with some of our Supporting Vendors. I personally would stay away from the Acrylic paneled tops. They tend to scratch easy unless you are super careful with them. 

Btw, I sold the passenger side M1131 top on ebay about 10 years ago and got $960. Shocked I couldn't believe it. Darn near paid for my new set of tops.
