Default Yes absolutely!

Unfortunatly, I'm having a really hard time finding somewhere that will sell the OEM carbon-fiber pieces. Do you know of anywhere that can get them?

Default Carbon Fibre was no cost option on European S4's (I have UK & German brochures)...

perhaps one of our EC friends could give more insight as to purchasing the pieces through a dealer.

None of the US dealers I've spoken with are allowed to bring any Euro-spec parts into the country.

I've spoken to a number of people who want the carbon-fiber interior -- hopefully someone reading this board knows of somewhere that will sell the OEM parts.

Default Order it & bring it in yourself. You can contact Euro dealers directly if you'd like...

maybe someone could start you off w/a cost estimate & a dealer recommendation.

Default A while ago there was a post w/ pics, but it was really shinney. The AutoWeek...

article eluded to carbon fiber in their Euro version, so maybe our friends accross the pond can lend a hand. I don't know if you ever saw an older S4/6, but the carbon fiber gives it a real tutonic touch. Audi dropped the carbon fiber for wood, due in part, to US customer requests!

Gotta' believe it would be a pretty easy install...

That'd be great, actually. I agree with mpm, it's gotta be a fairly easy install. It's just a matter of finding a dealership that will be willing to sell the parts and ship 'em over here..

Default Can someone outside of the USA call their dealership and get a quote for all the carbon-fiber bits?

If someone in the UK or Europe could call their dealership and get some prices on those carbon-fiber bits, it would be greatly appreciated.

Please post any info!

Thanks a lot.

Default Only if it comes in simulated grey wood grain finish.

Personally, I like the look of wood. Adds to that stealth aura, especially after I debadge the sucker.
Well... perhaps only stealthy in my mind..... ;o)
