haha, im pretty sure between me n jarrod weve got some killer finds!
i found him some i30 limited chrome door sills and woodgrain wheel! and on the same pull, scooped up SE-L gauges that happen to be 1000 miles off his current mileage. and then a couple weeks later, went back because they had a new car in and it was his matching color so we grabbed the hood, but we already got the fenders from another one.
i found a perfect Sterling Mist trunk without a spoiler and a 99 ecu and harness pigtail for $80 on one of our earliest junkyard runs. came outa the same car! go fig! it was my GLE clone.
our buddy came with us one time a couple weeks ago and grabbed a full set of Tokiko Blues for $40 for his Q.

Before that I got the color-matched, spoilerless trunk with center taillight for $50.

I found a stillen rear antisway bar. cost me $20 but had to but the frame to get the mounting brackets and the bolts were rusted to ****ed. got them pressed out and broke my shops press, all in all it ended up only being like $40, its usually $300 new.

probably off my old car lol. if it was, it had coilovers on it too that you should have grabbed.
anyways my best find was probably Q45 throttle bodies for like $10 each, one of which I intend on using on my car some day if I ever turbo it again.

Can I count my whole car as a good find? I've only had it for a few weeks, found it on Craigslist, '95 5-speed black with black leather, it's got a few normal issues for a car with 195k miles. Engine was replaced about 6mo. ago with a VQ30 out of an Infiniti (owner before me has only owned it since May he had the engine put in). $2600, I think I did all right. Only disappointment I've had is the lower radiator support I didn't know to look into until after I got the car, but thanks to all the info on the .org even that looks pretty easy to deal with.

it needs a rear connector flange though but thought I'd share.
