Default keep the wood trim...
it's worth a good bit.. the Al trim can be had for something on the order of $150.

Default also be aware that you have to take apart a lot of the interior to get it out...
someone did it so they might chime in and tell you how to do it.

Default Some people on this board did this about a year ago. Someone else here did the swap for carbon fiber
trim from the European cars (maybe RS4 ?). I think the AudiWorld member has an Imola S4. I can't recall who it is right now.

Default You can easily do it yourself...the S4 aluminum trom is about $150 from ClairParts.com.
Then follow the AudiWorld FAQ about how to make A4 trim into aluminum trim. It has a lot of details about how to do the actual swap.

I wouldn't even want to guess what a dealer would charge for something like this...
