For a script I'm creating I need to get the direction the top of a part is facing. How do you get other lookVectors besides the front?

You can also easily use the vectorToWorldSpace to get the surface normals from a CFrame:
local cframe = CFrame.new();
local up = cframe:vectorToWorldSpace(Vector3.FromNormalId(Enum.NormalId.Top));
print(up);
-- 0, 1, 0
Why hello, the awesome ItsMeKlc.
I have figured out the answer to your problem
left = (part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, -math.pi/2, 0)).lookVector right = (part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi/2, 0)).lookVector up = (part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(-math.pi/2, 0, 0)).lookVector down = (part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0)).lookVector

You can use vectorToWorldSpace to do this.
