What to take from a facelifted Coupe?
Hey all,
So I have an interesting circumstance where I can swap pretty much whatever I want from a facelifted coupe. My question is what should I swap?
Here's my list so far:
Headlights
Taillights
Aero Wipers
Front Seats
As well as some things for repair / Maintanance:
Underhood fuse cover
hood insulation
If I have the capability, I'm going to swap suspension also but I only have access to one lift so I'm not sure I'm going to try this.
Is there anything else worth grabbing? The last thing I was thinking of is the steering but am not sure what was updated between the years.
Cheers

Hey, I'll help you wrench if I can get some parts for myself. Of course you have first pic, but I need things like
The Driver's sun shade
Shift surrond
Tweeter covers
Carpet cover in the rear hatch
If you switch lights in the front, I have been there and done that.
Let me know,
Ed

Long story short. No it cannot be taken as a parts car, this would have been the preferable option. Due to the circumstances I cannot accept wrench help at this time but depending on the part(s) I might be able to get it from the vehicle.

I appreciate you seeing what you can get. I'll toss this out there to see if it helps you. If you want to take the parts off your car first, the offer to help still stands.
Say, at your place, we take off the lights, then in the day you go to the dismantling facility and take off the facelifted parts, then I can help you to get them on.
I would just feel odd that I got a freebie and didn't have to do anything.
So, let me know. I could be available anytime friday and saturday.

Well you requested easy parts 
If you don't mind driving to come pick them up in LB or at my place in Seal Beach, I don't mind getting those items for you.
That's a pleasent offer, I'll get back to you. I only have the one car so I'd like to keep it legal to drive but perhaps I can snake a company car for the day.

Okay, the goodies I swapped were:
Headlights (that was fun
)
Taillights
Mirror Blinkers (Thanks Todd!)
Fog Lights
Grill
Aero Wipers, function tested this morning
I'm surprised at how much better (newer) the car looks.
I'd take pictures but the weather here sucks as most of you know.
I fussed with the seats but they were heated and power memory. I traced the cables from the seat back into the neverland and decided it was too much effort for the time I had.

So, I need a small part, thats part of the door panel.
But it's like 80 bucks at the dealer...
it's the plastic piece that that holds the
window switches. Mine has one of the 3 screw holes broken,
I suspect by the body shop.
What color is the interior?
Or is it "gone" now?
It's a 5 minute job to swap this piece.
Did you grab the hood insulation? I was almost going to buy that.
Does it have BOSE?

The car is gone and I don't have access to it anymore 
I didn't grab the insulation as it was scarred pretty bad. Also, it didn't have that nifty header shield Also, no Bose.

Hey, I think I saw you on the 110 North today...sometime around noonish?
I was in my yellow Fiat. I didn't think you would recognize me so I didn't bother you.
