Anyone want to trade me their wood trim for OEM S4 Sport trim? - *traded*

**matt@oCarbon** · 10-20-2010 05:32 PM

SET HAS BEEN TRADED

First and foremost, let me apologize for having to post a long list of requirements for this trade, but unfortunately I've had problems with a few Audiziners in the past who wasted my time on setting up trades and not following through. If you can handle these few rules and you're interested, shoot me an email and I'll get you setup.

1) The trade will be on a deposit basis. If you're interested, you'll Paypal me $200 for a deposit and I'll send you out the aluminum trim. After you make the swap and return your wood trim to me, I'll refund you $175 and keep $25 for my shipping costs. I tried doing it where you could send me your wood trim first, but too many people would say they were sending out their trim and then I'd never hear back from them again. Providing a deposit will get the ball rolling and prove to me you are serious. I can send out the aluminum trim the same day I get your deposit if it is before 4pm PST. I will not hold the set for anyone, so the first person that provides a deposit will get the set.

2) Do not PM me. All PMs about the trim swap will me ignored. It is too hard to keep track of who is who via PM. If you want to contact me to trade, send me an email with the subject "Trim Swap" to [email protected].

3) I only want to trade for wood sets.

4) Your wood set needs to be a full set and have all the tabs in tact. I don't care if it is dirty or cracked, but I can't trade with you if tabs are broken or if pieces are missing. If you are uncertain about the condition of you wood set, just ask me if it will be okay.

5) Make sure you check out the pictures carefully. This is not a perfect set and has a few dings and scratches in it (as to be expected on trim that is going on 10 years old).

So if you like what you see and want to swap for this aluminum set for your wood set, shoot me an email and we'll sort out the details. Feel free to email me with any questions.

The pics:

A few closeups, you can see some of the nicks:

The shifter piece is in the worst condition, however this is very common for this trim. Almost every sport shifter I get looks exactly the same. A coat or two of plastidip will make it look good as new:

The other two console pieces are in great condition:

All of the tabs are in perfect condition. Not one is bent or broken:

very tempting, dont think silver would look right with santorin.

**NishadJoshi** · 10-20-2010 06:00 PM

Hmmmmmmm...

Do you only have ONE set of Sport trim?

it does
santorin with blue alcantara seats, aluminium mirrors and trim looks great, arguably almost a better match interior to exterior than nogaro

How bout a sport set for a carbon set?

**sideshowbob** · 10-20-2010 06:57 PM

imm do it, PM me if you are interested!

**KNaudi** · 10-20-2010 07:02 PM

damn I tossed my old wood trim last month.

Matt, you have any black ash tray covers that you would sell alone?

**BadWagon** · 10-20-2010 07:03 PM

Interested but not sure, are the rear doors the same size on an Avant as the Sedan?? Also I'm a TIP so not sure if that works out either?

I believe this set came out of a Santorin S4. The owner is replacing it with a custom blue carbon kevlar hybrid.

This is the one and only set I have at the moment. I get them from time to time, but not very often.

Throw in $550 and you've got a deal.

Please re-read the instructions.

**omgwtfbbq!** · 10-20-2010 07:05 PM

If I hadn't just ordered something today to spice up my wood trim you'd already have my deposit sir.

**spinall4** · 10-20-2010 07:10 PM

i would but i have no idea how to remove mine =( i hate my wood

**97B518TQM** · 10-20-2010 07:15 PM

I, for one, am glad i don't have this aluminum trim. It just looks plain to me. I only wish the wood patterns in the S4 were a little nicer, something like the C5 RS6 trim for example. I really like my friends RS6 trim but I guess it comes with the price.

Not at the moment, but if I come across one I will email you. Isn't yours covered in suede? If you give me the suede one I'll trade you the next black one I get for free.

Sedan and avant are the same size, but manual and tiptronic shifters are not interchangeable.

Trim removal is pretty easy, just be careful during the "shortcut" part:

yea it is. that'll work. shoot me an email. I'm also looking for a black shift surround for a 6MT.

**Fourplay** · 10-20-2010 08:05 PM

Does anyone have a picture of what this looks like with the off-white leather interior? I hate the greenish color of my wood trim, but I don't know if aluminum would look good with the white.

**GWerks** · 10-20-2010 08:26 PM

I do, mine is complete and in mint condition.

**GWerks** · 10-20-2010 08:27 PM

i do. Mine is complete and in excellent condition

**DESPOT D S4** · 10-20-2010 09:33 PM

do you have any imola carbon pics? or lime green

**thegame** · 10-20-2010 10:40 PM

I saw a set of silver trim off a 98 A4 at the pick n pull and passed. I didn't know pieces of them were in demand.

**8520** · 10-21-2010 12:03 AM

If you ever have a similar set for a manual a6, pm me.

The trim off the A4 is a lot different and isn't nearly as nice. I've had aluminum sets for A4s available for trade for a long time and it takes a while to find someone.

I don't believe it was an option for US C5s. I have seen them on eBay.de though.

That being said, if I ever do get an aluminum C5 set, I'll post it and make it available for everyone just like this set.

**8520** · 10-21-2010 01:23 AM

I haven't seen them stateside either, shrug.

Ive always liked the a4 alum color better, suprised no one wants the set(probably from the dent).

**Congratulati0ns** · 10-21-2010 07:23 AM

If mine is covered in suade would you still want to do it

**matt@oCarbon** · 10-21-2010 08:28 AM

On that particular set, more than likely. But I've had others in better condition take a few weeks.
