gonna start stripping my hatch to a shell, and transferring the parts to my convertible, aside from the obvious

transmission 5 spd (going to convert my convertible from auto - 5 spd)
clutch assembly
air intake
exhaust
headlight bulbs, (do hids require a different assembly then normal headlamps?)
tires
wheels
coilovers (tien)
5 lug conversion
q45 front brakes and calipers

is there anything else i should keep and transfer to my convertible?

Just get some good E-code H4 housings and put good halogen bulbs in them. Did that to the Porsche, The E-code housings have a REALLY sharp cutoff that's shaped so it won't blind other people in traffic, but will light up street signs off to your right. The Silverstars I put in there are also impressively bright.
