FS: CF mirror caps and WTB: various parts

Selling a set of CF mirror caps from my 2008 E90 M3. No idea of the company, no crazy issues with them, I put the stock caps back on. The fit is ok. Asking $100 picked up in Pleasant Hill, CA 94523.

Does anyone have any interest in black TE37SLs? 18x9.5+22/10.5+20 with 265/35/18 and 285/30/18 Michelin PS4s w/ 80% life. Minor blemishes and a small rash on LF around 3in long.

Looking for:
- stock alpine white 3 hood vent surrounds. I have painted black ones by IND put on by the previous owner. If any alpine owner wants to trade let me know
- decent condition stock steering wheel as well as a stock shifter with the integrated boot
- stock chrome M3 badge if anyone has one or wants to trade for my black one?
- interior dome light plastic surround since mine is broken. As well as if anyone knows which trim clips are used for the window trim?
- decent condition OE kidney grilles or if someone wants to trade for my painted (plastidipped?) kidney grilles. As well as the front fender liner head light access covers.

I think because I don't have enough posts. My email is danvitmon@gmail.com if that works for you.

Thanks

So those mirror caps aren't actually carbon fiber, correct?

They're plastic wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl, ya?

I don't believe so. The clear coat on the CF is mediocre in some spots and good in others. If it was vinyl then it would stay uniform and wouldn't discolor/haze in random spots.

So it's a real carbon fiber cap glued onto a plastic frame that has the tabs?

The interior and tabs look plastic, no?

I still have them. I just took measurements of the tread depth and three of them are at 7/32nds, and one is at 13/64ths. No camber/toe wear. Right around 80% of the starting tread depth. I still need to clean them up but I cleaned one wheel to get an idea of the condition.
