Ebay a4 b5 door trim $85 shipped

[walky_talky20]

My guess is that these trim pieces will be one of the first semi-important items that will go "NLA" (no longer available) for the B5. It's 15 years after the last B5 rolled off the line. I'm surprised they are even still available now.

If it's the exterior trim get s4 skirts and moldings. Makes the car look like it's from this decade and no more dumb rubber

I'm very surprised a lot of parts are still available from OEM. This is one of main reasons why I held on to my car so long. If I had to go to junkyard for everything I would of sold the car.

The S4 skirts don't cover the rubber trim area. What do you mean by moldings? Any pics?

No but replacing it with the S4 door blades/moldings as well do.

When you get S4 skirts, you are also supposed to rob the accompanying lower door moldings and the sill plate things. It is fairly hard to come up with all of this stuff unless you get direct access to an intact S4.

The lower moldings are painted-matched, hard plastic things - not rubber with an integrated, rust-to-pieces-and-fall-off-every-8-years piece of tin:



Look at that. Would you just LOOK at it? OM NOM.

What's posted above. Getting the skirts without the moldings is

Depending on area they can be hard to get. I've seen full door sets for 200 on eBay. I had a full s4 body setup posted but had no bites other than typical flakers so I decided to keep.

I'm pretty sure they're available aftermarket now, I've seen them on ebay for a fraction of OEM cost. Unless these sellers got a hold of them for pennies on the dollar...

I'm drooling.
I've been searching for an S4 part out. I let one go about 2 weeks ago because they were selling two of the skirts for 250$ and I said no because I didn't know about the S4 moldings.

Educate yo self kidss!
