What would you grab at the junkyard for upgrades/repairs?

Hello, I've just recently acquired a 2003 Monte Carlo SS. Engine has been replaced with a GM remanufactured engine less than 10,000 miles ago (paperwork and engine bay stickers included). There are 2 6th gen Monte's at my local junkyard that are practically complete as well as many Impalas.

What are the best parts I should grab from the yard? i.e. expensive online but cheap at the yard, best upgrades, common issue parts, etc.
I've already grabbed 2 trunk speaker covers from an Impala as well as 2 keyless entry receivers. 1 from an Impala and 1 from a Chevy S10. Worked perfectly!

Thanks in advance!

Hi. lucky find, 2 of the 6th gens there. These are the parts I would get.

1. Door related weatherstrips, window rubber parts on doors. Trunk lid rubber gasket.
2. Get a rear window from one.
3. 1/4 windows
4. Trunk lid stereo amplifiers.
5.Any body "Ground effects" plastic trim at rockers and below front / rear bumpers.
6. Headlights / traillights if in decent condition.
7. If they are Signature series, pace cars, snag anything that reads Pace car, Dale Earnhart, Tony Stewart, Jr., Jeff Gordon etc.
8. Grab engine covers as most are being confiscated when dealership performs recall option.,
9. Console lid
10. Dash pad
