I hated the silver plastic. IMHO, IT looked cheap. It matched nothing else in the car. Its OK if you like the Silver plastic better. I might have actually been able to live with real aluminum. I'm happy with the black. I can't believe how much better it looks to me. Yes, I would prefer CF. Tell me where you can get some to match the OEM CF. NOWHERE! So for now,this is the best that I can do.

Honestly it comes down to personal preference. I think you did a great job and no doubt some serious ***** to do what you did. If you like it that is all that matters. Who cares about others opinions. I think you did a great job.
But I really wish they had that area in CF too.. just seems like Audi got too "cheap" to finish the job type of thing..

Gutsy move indeed! It sure changes the look of the panel and I'm glad you are happy with it and have no regrets. Like someone mentioned before it is very hard to photograph a black interior and get the blacks right. You said it looks shinier than the rest of the plastic but it looks flatter to me in the pictures. I happen to like the silver but I would rather have real aluminum, SS or CF instead.

I doubt the pictures reflect what it really looks like. Personally I'm happy with the silver trim but I have the standard "brushed aluminum" trim and I didn't notice it didn't match until someone pointed it out online. But like an earlier poster pointed out, it seems in the pictures to be out of place a bit?
