I scored euro lights w/ euro light switches, nav screen with no dead pixels, mint a & b pillars and le mans front flares, mint gloss black shadowline trim (mine were heavily oxidized) among tons of other parts.
My passenger doors were repainted (quite badly) by the previous owner and swapped those out too.
I'm a sucker for oem hardware and mine was missing a few here and there or had AutoZone stuff which drove me insane.
Now I have spares!

Hard to look at, but they can't all be keepers. Most aren't independently wealthy after all. And even then it would be a horrible financial decision. 
Out of curiosity, how hard was it to remove the shadowline trim? I am contemplating removing the trim on my parts truck.
Edit: How much did you get for the carcass? Looks like you sold to a yard, or pro scrapper.
