    Value of carbon fiber interior trim?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I bought a used 2013 S5 convertible
    And it has the carbon fiber trim
    But it doesn't match the chestnut interior at all
    I'm looking for the brushed aluminum trim
    But I was wondering how much the carbon fiber trim is worth
    I saw a set on eBay for $950
    But I have a feeling that's too high

    Anyone know where I can find the brushed aluminum trim?

    And are the trims for the B8 and the B8.5 interchangeable?

    Yes they are interchangeable. $950 seems high, I think around $500-$600 is more reasonable provided you don't damage it taking it off.

    I actually have a set of CF trim on the way so I will probably be selling my brushed alu trim after I get the new stuff installed.

    Let me know when your brushed trim is available
    Yeah I've taken the trim out before on my previous A5
    And I have the plastic trim removal tools, so no risk of scratching
    The trim is in great shape
    So I should be good

    For sure, I'll let you know. You are close to me too so should be easy to just meet up.

    I have brushed aluminum trim from 2010 S5 with only 32K miles. I would be willing to trade for your CF.

    And if all fails, I may be interested in the cf piece from the center console, as mine has become slightly warped over time due to expansion/contraction from the heat (pretty normal on these cars). Let me know if you'd like to part with the center piece. Thanks.

    It is for sure.

    I've sent you two emails with pictures, let me know if you'd like to purchase.
