A new twist on an old fav

Well I was bored so I changed out the front and rear roundels for the carbon fiber look. Then I realized my steering wheel roundel didn't match, and it was worn a little, so I changed it. Then I realized that my center caps needed the matching CF scheme too, but I wanted to run the bimmer spinners for a while longer. So I got some roundel appliqués and now have modded spinning CF center caps... boredom is the mother of cheesy inventions.

What are you looking for? The center caps, or steering wheel, or hood/trunk emblems? I email a guy who I used to buy stuf from on eBay. Now I go direct and save a few bucks. I'll send you his info. It is pretty inexpensive, about 1/3 of Bimmian's prices.
