Default Try ebay, ebay Germany, or ebay UK

If you cannot find a felow AW person looking to part with his/her trim set, you could try ebay. I found a set of the carbon fiber trim for my A6 from ebay Germany. Just be warned that most sellers from ebay Germany will not ship to the US. However, some are willing to work with you if you simply ask.

<a href="http://www.ebay.de">ebay Germany</a>

You need to search for "audi carbon" or "audi dekor"

Here is a good online translator to help you with item descriptions or to ask the seller if they will ship to the US:

Happy hunting!

Default $850 for carbon fiber still a bit steep...

I saw a set on ebay Germany go for less than half that about 4 weeks ago.

None listed right now, but if you are patient, you might be able to score a set. If you cannot wait, it looks like EPImorters has the items for you, but at a higher cost. Just call them and make sure that they are in stock. I bought the RS6 shift **** from them and it took about 3 weeks...backordered, but I did not know that when I ordered online.

Happy hunting!

Default Thanks!

Took me about 3 months to hunt this set down. Strange thing...when I finally found a set, I actually ended up finding a second set at the same time. I ended up buying both sets and sold one set to another AW guy.

One of my favorite mods!
