I have a friend who use to work at a body shop that bought, fixed, sold ICBC rebuilds and you are correct. It is much cheaper to put on an aftermarket steering wheel, CF hood, and aftermarket front bumper than it is to get OEM parts.
Some times they every cut out the old air bags and plastic glue the cover close so people buying the cars think there are airbags when there are nothing inside.
All in the name is making a quick buck.
