The trim around the hazard button on my car has been cracked since I bought it. As I had other priorities (maintenance, etc.), I've overlooked it. Now that I've got my known issues out of the way, I want to locate one in better condition. I've placed WTB threads here and on Vortex, but I no have the following problem...What color?

Here is the trim as I have it.


On the back there is this part number.


If I can find one that matches this part number will the colors match? I've had a couple offered up in response to my WTB threads, but they don't match. Suggestions? Are there really that many different colors of wood trim for these cars?

 

I can barely see the crack. If you do like the wood trim, try shokan.com and give the part number. If not, wrap it with 3M vinyl wrap.

 

once you go black...

i have the one your looking for in perfect condition on the front, i think its missing one tab on the back but it clips in fine. lmk

 

I ordered that very one,jonesy,along with a black onyx arm rest lid. I since installed both about 1 month ago.

It was a very Expensive repair,the Arm rest lid was over 200.00 and the Trim bezel was 56.00.

Its money well spent,being Audina's interior is almost mint. I just need to get my gear selector cover sanded down,the chrome is scratched to hell and so is the bezel that surrounds it.

 

I think spending good money on the interior is worth it. Its what you sit in everyday and what you have to see, the exterior is what others see.

 

i re wrapped my armrest with perforated leatherette. $15 well spent. pics coming soon!

 

The crack is definitely more noticeable than the picture lets on. I'm actually a fan of the wood trim and have put in the request with shokan. Thanks for the tip.

Jones, you have a PM.

I just didn't think this would be a difficult part of find as it seems few people like the wood trim. It turns out that it's only hard to find if I want the right color...

 

Exactly why my interior has more thorough customizing than my exterior. To me, doing your interior up sets your car apart since so many people mod the exterior and leave the interior alone.
