I bought a complete front clip, and took all the parts I needed to repair it. Much cheaper than buying individual pieces. Probably why it was salvaged in the first place. JK is not a daily driver, BMW was.
How do you find the salvage vehicles?

Look for insurance auto auctions. Texas has good deals on JKs. You can inspect them in person.

From a want to buy standpoint? Maybe.

From the banks, insurance companies, resale value, etc, salvage is salvage. They don't differentiate.

That's why you need to look in person. Definitely buy cash, and do the repair yourself. Not worth the hassle of it gets expensive.

There is a junkyard in Bedford,VA that always has wrecked JK's for sale. They seemed to be priced too high to make it worth repairing though. I just saw an 06 Rubi for 8900 that had the same damage I just repaired on my son's 04 for about 1800 in parts.
