That is so true! The salesperson I asked didn't even know what dash trim comes with the alum layered wood. The dealer didn't have any sample or other S4 with this trim on the lot. I did a lot of search on the web to see pictures before ordering it. I'm glad I made the right choice.

The match is pretty good but not perfect. Due to the complexity of the part and the fact that it's hand made means that the weave pattern doesn't exactly match the other piece. It's the same fabric to start with but it has to be bent and stretched into all sorts of tiny shapes which makes it impossible. I suspect this may be why Audi didn't do it in the first place. It's really only a big problem on the very edges where the pattern kinda falls apart. Also the chrome bit around the MMI screen has a small gap on the top. The color of the CF bezel is slightly blacker than the factory trim. Despite these flaws, every single person to sit in my car absolutely loved it. So if you can overlook that and accept the compromises of a hand made part, then it'll be just fine.

The return of the "Superman" edition. I have seen a few 335is over the years with the Medium bright blue exterior and red interiors. But very few S4s configured that way. Not my cup of tea, but if you really like yours that way, go for it.
