What should I look for?

I'm going to go to the junkyard and was wondering what I should look for...you know, hidden jewels. I have a firebird but if there's any camaro pieces I should keep my eyes open for let me know asap.

If you see a 91-92 Z-28 decklid could you get that for me I want to put my High Rise Spoiler on . But look for:

Grid Style Taillights
Dash Pads
Fog Lights
Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner
Hood louvers or blisters
145 mph guage cluster
91-92 gfx and high rise spoiler

Those are popular items

People are ALWAYS on the look out for a good pair of seats.
Rear hatch pull down units are always a good thing to grab too.

Isn't there an anniversary Camaro with a bag-type glovebox on the passenger side dash? That would be a very sought-after item.

Well, i found these items. Haven't grabbed them yet or if I should

1) 2 overhead consoles - 1 is mint with flashlight still there.
2) 3 mint firebird dash pads
3) 85 firebird SE hood louvres and rear window louvres
4) Firebird gfx (i know not extremely rare)
5) Tach dashes (for both v6 and v8)

* the camaro bag glove box, is that the same as all the firebird ones?

I don't think there is a harness for an overhead console, just a couple wires that you only need to leave a few inchs long.
