Adding Additional Carbon Fiber Trim - dashboard/MMI surround - Thoughts?

[Matthew_VA]

I love the carbon fiber trim in my new B8 S4 and was thinking of adding (a little) more. I've seen some older posts of the dashboard CF trim and/or MMI surround. But I'm not sure if it would be too much--there is that fine line between too much and just enough. What are people's thoughts on them? does it become excessive CF--has anyone installed them and had buyers remorse?

Thanks!

I was between hydro dipping it CF and painting it piano black...ended up going piano black and couldn't be happier. I have CF interior and had the exact same thoughts and sided with it would have been too much CF.

A lot of people have done that piece in carbon. Really completes the look IMO.

Can't really go wrong either way (as long as you match the carbon fiber). I bought the factory RS4 piano black piece and am very happy.

I wanted to added a little more too so I just changed the shifter and that seems to hold me off...for now.

That looks really sharp!

Where did you get the shifter? Looks like the ones listed on aliexpress... is that it?

I painted the trim surrounding the gages on my 2010 satin black and liked it. Piano and gloss black will also work. BUT, I found the black trim quickly collected dust. I have learned to live with the silver color on my current 2011. IMHO, CF would not be too much
