Picking up 2008 Fit Sport auto as a parts car - goodies to save?

**This isn't a for sale thread**

The GF and I are likely picking up a parts car this weekend. 2008 sport wrecked in the front, same color as ours (Nighthawk black pearl). Ours is a base. I'll probably strip everything I can think of that might be worth while.

So far my list is:
Tail lights
Air intake
Radio
OEM Sport rims
OEM side skirts and rear hatch (I've already replaced my hatch one due to a bicyclist smashing into it)
Rear bumper with lip
Visors
Seats (my driver seat has a whole in the left thigh bolster)
Catalytic converter (I have CEL on for mine, maybe this one is good?)
Battery (if it tests good, if not I'll recycle it for a couple bucks)
Side mirrors

Anything else you homies would recommend? My 08 Base is at 186xxx miles. The parts car had 131xxx on it and was wrecked in the front. It started and drove up on the flat bed but engine has an oil leak.

Other suggestions? Might take keep all four doors too just in case. If not, side mirrors def.

All the fiddly easy to break interior parts, Like I broke the little cover for the inside rear view mirror mount, you'd think it was made out of Unicorn Blood the way the counter guy looked at me..

Steering Wheel and passenger air bag.. if they are not blown.. Otherwise the steering wheel controls are most nice to have if they break.

That oil is probably from the oil filter or the auto transmission cooler lines that connect to the radiator.

The steering rack is gold..

carpet? heater control pod.
Glove box door.

It all depends on what you can store!

Good looking out. I'll make extra room in the shed
