I like it how it is because it looks stock-ish. If you go painting the e brake/shift ****/anything elseitll look like riceroni imo.

 

LOL no I wouldn't paint those at all - if anything I'd replace them. There are some really nice, non-ricey shifters and e-brake sleeves out there (the e-brake sleeves are affordable, but the shifters unfortunately have prison-shower-rape pricetags, and ditto the pedals). We'll see what happens with that stuff. I am definitely NOT going to paint them though

 

It looks like you did a good job.

 

i like it alot. makes it look so clean

 

I haven't seen the matte trim in an Audi before...did it look like this?

If so, ew. But it looks great now. Well done.

 

Thanks, and yes, that's pretty much what it was. Here's a pic of my interior that I took awhile ago, and it was this way until this morning. It's just really bland and fake-looking, very plasticky. The paint is a huge improvement. I wish I'd done it sooner, now that I've seen how it turned out.



Just for kicks, here's a (bad) picture of the mess you have to make to access all the clips that hold the trim on the dash. It's a lot of disassembly, but it comes apart pretty easily, and only took a half hour or so to take apart.

 

WOW! That is a huge improvement, great job!

 

your wood is WAYYY lighter than mine. ive seen it before and i dont like it good job on the paint. w/ the silver it looks like 1.8 trim

 

YES.. this was a project that I was just starting on my car right before I wrecked. After seeing this, there is no doubt I will do it on my next audi. Great work man.

 

haha looks like my car, shoulda left it that way! lol yeah i did that doo, but haven't gtten around to do doing the higher grit yet, did it wih 100 grit.
