Default 2004 Moro/Silver. Carbon fiber or aluminum interior trim?

I'm trying to decide what trim to install in my '04 Moro/silver. Of course, it came with the wood trim. I picked up some OEM carbon fiber and it looks great but I was also considering aluminum. I have not taken a pic of the CF but here are a couple of the aluminum with silver in a B7 S4. Note that my headliner is black as opposed to the silver one shown in the pic.

Default i believe what you have here is brushed aluminum... different from the B6 alu...

i had the s-line brushed alu in the Avant for a while... i really like them a lot...

Default so the s-line AL is brushed, and the B6 AL is not?

What is the B6 S4 AL trim called?

Default From an A4 owner...

whom bought it to replace his OEM plastic trim. He recently sold his A4 and sold his mods. Good for me : ) On the back of the trim, each piece has the Audi markings and stickers just like the standard wood trim.

Default Well...

considering it runs $1200-$1500 (if you can find it), I paid a fair price. I may end up selling if someone with aluminum wants to trade (their al plus $). A couple of folks have mentioned that the wood is more $ than the aluminum and the CF is more than the wood (but wood is less popular as a mod). Considering that CF is a $300 option on '05's, this sounds reasonalbe.

Default here's some close-ups of the B6A4 "alu" trim and S-line trim...

<img src="http://images3.fotki.com/v36/photos/1/110342/412041/DottedAuminumTrim-vi.jpg">

as you can see it has a dotted pattern...

the s-line looks like this:

<img src="http://images3.fotki.com/v37/photos/1/110342/411912/SLineBrushedAuminumTrim-vi.jpg">

i believe the B6A4 still come with the "dotted" alu trims...

Default The S4 has the same aluminum as the A4, right?

Also, love the Sportec's.
