New CF Trim!

[UberDave]

I've owned my S4 for a couple months now and I'm definitely on board with everyone who says the interior of the S4 is second to none... I still get a rush every time I get behind the wheel - the feel of the leather, the great seats, perfect control layout, etc. The only thing that I think really needed to be improved upon is the trim. While I think the aluminum trim that came with my car is a better choice for the S4 than any of the wood options, it's still the weak point of the interior imo.

A couple weeks back I purchased a "B quality" set of Trim from Carbon Copy Designs after being assured that I probably wouldn't notice the "flaws" in the trim. I received and installed the trim yesterday, and I'm amazed at how good it looks. The quality of the workmanship is incredible - I've never see the OEM carbon fiber trim but I can't image that it looks better than this. I also can't tell why this is a "B quality" set of trim, though Winston says the weave is a bit loose in spots because it was from the last pull in the roll but like I said, I can't tell. I've attached a few pictures but they really don't do it justice, in fact the pics on the Carbon Copy Designs web page don't look as good as it does in person. Winston and Terry are great guys to work with and their product is amazing!

nice man. i just got my cf/kevlar trim and installed it as well. pictures definately dont do the trim justice. Terry does amazing work!

[UberDave]

I saw the pics, the red trim looks amazing in your car! Makes me miss my B5...

Trim looks great in the car Dave.

Again... I apologize for the delay in getting it to you.

[UberDave]

Thanks Winston, the wait was definitely worth it! I really didn't expect to be this impressed with the way it looks...

[jerrym]

looks very good

[channad]

looks great!!! Take pics with flash off and good lighting. Turn the macro on and don't be afraid to get close



this is the CF rear bumper trim from RS Quattro

[ArcticV8]

I envy cf trim, i got stuck with the wood grain :(

[Lugi20]

CF trim looks a lot better in person. I have it in my car and its just beautiful.

I agree, taking pictures that do it justice isn't easy...

[manhattanprjkt8]

so where do you get this stuff?

[gjc]

How much? Who did the install? How long did it take?

Thanks.

[Mokes]

Looks awesome Dave. Makes me want to get a set.

[manhattanprjkt8]

yeah if anyone has details on the DIY for this that would be great along with a link to buy. I am not feeling the wood grain in my nogaro at all!

[Silver B6 S4]

I would love to replace my aluminum look trim with the C/F trim.

I was at the Audi dealership today, and on a new S4, under options it said:

Carbon Fiber Beltline trim $400

I was going to ask the parts department how much it would cost, but I was on my way out of the dealership and I saw the car.

on a B7? That sonofabitch paid $500 to have that put in.

Hard to believe

Just swap it out. Save your nickels.

I asked...about $1200!

guys, link is in Winston's sig. Carbon Copy designs.

[cheewy16]

how hard is it to install? Can someone post a DIY?

[b00st]

DIY is on winston's site.

agreed though...i think the CF looks the best. winston puts out an excellent product without a doubt.
it will be a purchase of mine sometimes soon.

i will be throwing on my JHM rotors, ECS SS lines, Hawk HPS pads, Brembo 600F fluid tomorrow and posting my review of the product within a week or so of driving. it sucks cuz here in chicago it supposed to snow like a mofo tomorrow...and i'm driving on CONTI2s. i'll be lucky if i can make it to my appointment with that kind of snow.

[B6bomber]

I have OEM carbon trim on my 05 B6 S4, and it looks absolutely amazing. I would say yours looks about the same just my weave is a little bit tighter. I will post pics as soon as i get my car out of the shop. (they are fixing the drivers window and the headlights, ive been without my car for one week now and it is driving me crazy, especially now that I got my valentine1 in the mail and i have no car to install it on)

[serumk]

Clearly I'm in the minority here, but I don't like the carbon fiber as well as the wood trim. I don't think the wood trim is especially high-quality, but I prefer it to the aluminum and carbon fiber. It makes the dark, teutonic interior look too bright and sparkly! = )

Just my $0.02

That said, you are right UberDave, the trim you bought definitely looks high-quality.

[AudiOso]

Man that CF is awesome. I'd love to hook that up for my Avant. I have the aluminum in my S4 and I really dig it.

[CAA]

Has anyone tackled this job on their own? No doubt Winston's work/product is great, but my biggest holdback has been the whole core swap in the transaction. There are quote a few vendors online to purchase the CF twill.

thanks buddy. Looks like I have a project ahead of me. If I f*** it up I'll be calling you Winston.

[SebringSilver]

Oh, I didn't even realize until now that the carbon fibre isn't standard on every S4.

I bought mine right off the showroom floor and it just came with it.

But I'm sorry to say, I think OEM looks a little more refined, at least compared to the photos included here.

[RocketSurgeon]

Looks great!

We have 3 different weights of the CF cloth. 6oz which is standard, 12oz which is chunkier and 19oz which is as heavy as you can get.

I have a set of 19oz coming for my car and I'll post up pics to show the difference between the 12oz and 19oz weights.

Visually it is VERY noticeable.

I have grey S4 bird's eye maple in my car for the longest time before I installed a set of CF trim. I'm not trying to pitch my trim but the CF pieces does change the feel of the interior of the car a lot.

Well if you didn't want to do the core swap then just pay our core exchange fee and let us keep it!

Or find a inexpensive used trim set and send it to us for conversion.

[Beelzeebub]

Im a wood trim guy, but that set looks really good.

[sakimano]

the grey wood is solid...but I'd vote CF#1

I have aluminium

Winston, can you please post the costs for...

1. A-grade B7 S4 6MT
2. B-grade B7 S4 6MT

I sent you an email on the web page, and a PM but haven't heard back. I'm in Canada, so maybe a PM with Canadian dollar pricing would suffice.

Cheers

What is that.. a rechargeable vibrating dildo plugged in your cigarette lighter?

just saw that...hmmm

actually looks like a mini light saber

or a flashlight

[manhattanprjkt8]

ok so can anyone answer the cost for this? And are there any other options out there? My b6 has wood and i need to get rid of it fast!...

[FourRingRider]

I asked...about $1200!

I asked the dealer about a month ago when I purchased my S4.... They quoted me over $2000 for all the CF trim pieces and they said thats WHOLESALE...

seems like a secret for some reason. The VF Supercharger in beta is easier to price than this carbon fibre trim.
