Shoot, there's a LOT of stuff.

Radio console/AC vents
Shifter surround
Nose and side moldings
Spoiler (if you don't have one)
*maybe* door panels (depends on color, model, etc.)

That's off the top of my head.

It's totally pot luck if you find an aluminum hood - but, in general, the bulk of the '89-91 NA's I've seen have had steel hoods, save the GTUs's.

Just look at everything - if it looks better/neater, grab it. Most of the '89-91 stuff will bolt right on to the earlier cars.

my drive train is in awesome shape. i may swap the wheels, i kinda like the 5 spoke design better than the gxl rims. my interior is pretty good cept for the driver seat is trashed. i think the interior is black on the 91. i not sure how the seats will look in my blue interior. hope its a GTUs, that damm steel hood is heaver than the doors on my 85..........
thanks tho.

Take the black interior. If you dont use it, you can sell it online for some good money.
