Very cool! I wonder if we had enough interest we could buy several kits and have them shipped...
Anyone know anyone who lives in Germany or elsewhere in Europe? What are these kits worth?

I just looked at ETKA, there are part suffix's for the carbon pieces
If Audi had some in a warehouse somewhere.....think we could get a deal on them?
I bet not....but it would be a nice dream!

Paul,
Last I checked at least the rear piece with the Seat heater cut outs was NLA. However, worth the check into for sure. Also, know that piece by piece I think the kit is over 3K list.

WELL, OEM might be really expensive BUT...i found a guy that can MAKE CF interior kits!!!

this guy on audizine has done many B5 A4s and S4s and i spoke with him today and he said that he would have no issue doing a kit for the A8/S8!!!! he said that it would probably be in the $600-700 range for the ENTIRE interior trim kit! I bet if we got a bunch of us together he might do it cheaper! We would need to send our trim out to him for about 2 wks according to what he told me but his workmanship is stunning...thoughts?
and above is a sample of his work(this is for a B5)...lots of pix found on the AZ link...<ul><li><a href="http://audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=168141">http://audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=168141</a</li></ul>

So would he actually destroy our wood trim to use the back tabs?
I would hate to give up the wood kit and not have it to replace if needed.... Otherwise, this would be an interesting option... I wonder how it looks compared to the original CF kit, blue thread etc....

Agreed, the blue IS, in fact, that cat's ***!...

Find a '93 UrS4 near you and have a looksee at... it's CF it's the very same.
In mine (I put it in my '95) I found it VERY distracting! As in, I couldn't f'n take my f'n eyes off it to keep them on the road and DRIVE 8-).
Pictures don't do it much justice. Just find a '93 locally and check it out.
And, sadly, I highly doubt you'll find any anywhere. Needle / haystack.
I also like the piano black that was optional at least in the C4 - imagining it was in the D2 as well.
Sigh...
