Not yet. Me and Jonathan went to pick and pull yesterday and got all the parts I need off a 2006 g5 gt that's in there. The eminent is untouched... Well not anymore but it wasn't when we got there.
I got an intake and exhaust actuator, an airlid to replace my broken one, and another ECM. Kinky paid 65 for it all too

^^it was either busted, or just taken apart.... ti was half in place, and half in the trunk (I didn't see the fan control knob anywehre)...
was sliver (but aren't all pre-2010's?)... could probably fix it, but is it worth your time?
some douche nozzle closed the trunk, bu the hvac/radio surround was there (it was for non-heated seats btw)
The dash pad was minty, and the drivers seat looked to be good - but the rest was either missing, torn apart, or down right destroyed...
between the time I saw it on saturday, and when me & Jordan went there on sunday, the column was taken apart too.
IIRC all the brakes were there, and before we grabbed the VVT sensors the engine was untouched except for one coil being removed.
the exhaust complete with tip was there too (but the bottom of the tip was scraped up)...

not all pre 2010's were silver, usually the base model's had black hvac faceplates. i'm looking for a black one to finish off my dash trim
might swing by and see if the valve cover is still there as i've been searching for a spare so i can finish polishing mine so i don't have to rush it again

well i put in the phaser i got yesterday, the first time i started my car, the engine light was still on, so i turned it off and it was gone but it had been doing that before, so only time will tell.
also jonathan, would that ECM be locked out right now? im thinking maybe its the same thing as the BCM in your white lnf and when that car rolled it locked out.
steve, the hvac plate was gone from hvac unit. i didnt see the plate anywhere though. if you got that valve cover, and polished yours up, do you think i could buy it off you when your done so i can do mine? its pretty corroded and i wanna get it polished up before the car show on july 16th

So whats there to do in Calgary? I'm heading there on the 7th to the 10th to do the Spruce Meadows and do 3 parades, of which the Prime Minister, Chief of Defence Staff, Prince William and Kate will be there.
When we arent on parade or practicing we are allowed to wonder the city. I'm pretty sure we are staying on the Royal College or w/e its called. I was there in 2009 for the Calgary Stampede/Spruce Meadows and didnt have a sweet clue what to do..lol.
