Default For SALE~~~ A pillar GAUGE POD molded and recovered, includes the passenger side A pillar too~~~~

I just finished up a set of custom A pillars. The pod is molded in flush and smooth with the A pillar, very similar to competitors. It is for a 52mm guage. This is just the A pillars, driver and passenger side which have been recovered in OEM type fabric. Both were recovered to ensure a uniform feel in the cabin.

Here is the catch I need your A pillars, both pass and driver side in exchange for these 2. I've gone back to 100% stock other than the A pillars and my short shifter. The dealer is a real pain in the butt here now so I'm just trying to keep my warranty a float.

These were made by me, and hopefully my lazy *** will be able to construct a few more Even doubles. Pods on Passenger side too. The ideas are endless. The price is $180 for them, you pay for shipping ($12 or so). Keep in mind that this is a matched pair straight off of my car, made this past weekend. No gauge is included, and these are S4 Airbag A pillars. Onyx is the color.

Here is a sample pic of the first one from many moons ago. The new ones flare down in the front as well. I should have pics in the next day or two.

Default They are super **** now. Everyone in Phx agrees. The movement in my seats is not fixed because

they said it was due to my increased torque from teh added power. Umm, yeah, BS. Everyone's crappy S4 seats move, I just wanted them to be tightened up like they have done for several other S4s in teh area, including one race car.

Default So you remove dp's, exhaust, chip, a pillar, short shifter... TO GET YOUR SEAT FIXED?

WTF?

You know, the "fix" won't really fix anything anyway (the looseness will come back)... seems kinda lame.

Where is this place? It's not Scottsdale is it? They used to be really mod friendly I thought.

Default Isn't that fiberglass going to act like shrap(sp) metal when the airbag deploys?

Maybe I am wrong, I guess fiberglass tears when under pressure right?

Default According to Audi Client Relations a modification is considered

something added to the car that is not OEM or Audi certified. That in it self can and will void the warranty regardless of whether it's powertrain related or not.

Default Sounds like a good time to get a lawyer and break out Magnussen Moss

I would have to imagine, that them denying a SEAT warranty, because you have a SHORT SHIFTER installed, would violate that.

Or a freaking BOOST GAUGE.

WTF?

I would have to imagine they are almost laughing inside when they suggest the wobbly seat is due to extra torque in the engine. It's a well known problem... I believe there's a TSB on it. Sheesh.
