Engine parts, doors, side mirrors, transmissions, seats, windshields, fenders, bumpers, headlights, tailights, etc.

For the ESi:

Surplus power window motors/gear teeth and rear strut tower brace

Surplus headlight assembly (right) and bumpers (front-right wreck due to collision)

[speed unlimited]

Surplus Alternator on my JDM GA15 engine.

Nope. Dealer-only service (Hyundai, Honda) and original parts only.

Surplus right tail light.

Brand new wouldn't look good because it wouldn't match the older left tail light. I didn't want to buy 2 brand new tail lights as the left one was still good so I opted for surplus.

Better get a quality surplus lalo na kung di naman related sa engine rather than getting a cheap replacement.

sold the car later
