Default like you..my other Audi's had the wood and looked nice BUT

seems like the RS6 needs the carbon...maybe it is a mindset thing??

Default You can check with carbonLORD on the size difference around the gateshift area. The RS6's is

smaller compared to the A6's.

Default Its the same after 2002. Its always been the same on the S6.

The 98-01's did not have Sport mode, which means they were a half inch wider to accomodate the 2,3,4,P,N,R,D settings.

All RS 6's will be fine as long as the use wood from a 02-04 A6 3.0, 2.7T, 4.2 or S6.

FWIW dealer quoted $1500 for the Carbon Trim. I bought mine from eBay Germany for $500 and sold my old trim to a dent puller for $200 in repairs as trade.

Good luck.

Default Depends on interior color...I have found a set of RS6 carbon fiber trim for my A6...

and I love it! Looks great with black, but not that great with tan color interiors. I had to modify the part around the shifter (the opening had to be milled a bit larger...no Sport mode in 2001 tiptronic), but you RS6 folks do not have to worry about that.

And yes, that is the RS6 shift **** as well...
