Default A6 beltline trim in aluminum: Is it rare or normal to have?

I bought a set of 5 for cheap to make into Carbon Fiber Trim. I got it today and it looks pretty cool. I would hate to start sanding if its something that someone would want.

Default Rare in the US to have aluminum trim for the C5 A6...

...and I think that the aluminum trim only had the 5 pieces (4 door inserts and the piece above the glove box). All other trim pieces of the set (hazard surround, shift surround, ashtray cover, the 4-pieces in the center console under the armrest) are all plastic. In the US, all A6s had wood trim for the 12 pieces (11 if 2001 or earlier).

Default Yep...here is a set on eBay Germany (not my auction)

it is not complete, as most of the plastic "other" pieces are missing, but the 5 pieces (4 door inserts and dash trim) are pictured here. Note the picture of the shift surround and hazard trim...matte black plastic...<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.de/Orig-Audi-A6-S6-RS6-Innen-Dekor-schwarz-Matt-Neuw_W0QQitemZ180066821216QQihZ008QQcategoryZ99372 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">aluminum &amp; plastic A6 trim</a></li></ul>

Default Pardon my terrible photo skills but,

<center><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/vellterr/Carbon%20Fiber/aluminumtrim.jpg"></center><p>here it is. You can see its original. Should I sand it off and lay carbon fiber over it or trade for wood trim?

Default I'd buy cf or wood trim and sell it

there's a number of people that would be interested in buying this..myself included. I just want to keep my wood too.
