Default a-pillar question

does ANYONE know if the inner trim on the a-pillar is replaceable?? thanks to the previous owner, i have multiple cigarette burns there. somehow he managed to keep the rest of the interior pretty much perfect, but he murdered that a-pillar. i tried prying at it, but i don't want to break it and not be able to fix it. i tried searching my bentley cd and wasn't able to find anything.

If you're up for it... since you are already replacing your a-pillar you can look at www.supremepower.com and they have a-pillars with a gauge pod build into it with factory OEM matching fabric available and you can knock out 2 birds with one stock and make it look factory and new. That is if you're up to putting the turbo boost gauge on your a-pillar. If so, look at that website and click on interiors. They only have it for the B5's right now, but they are doing testing on the B6 pillar and I am sending him pics this week so I can be one of the first to get one for my B6! I hope it come out as nice as their B5's look...

i've got a 2.8L, so i don't need any gauge pods.

tom, there's two trim pieces on the a pillar, the one i need is shown in the pic, it's actually more of a window trim because it goes all the way across the top, not just on the a-pillar. if you have that piece available i'd definitely be interested. i wouldn't have any idea how much to ask though, how bout 15 bucks?

that's what i would call the a-pillar trim. look closely at my pic above though, what i need is the other, slimmer piece of trim on the a-pillar. i don't think it would be considered a-pillar trim, but i don't know what else to call it.
