After years of youtube...here’s what I learned. When you show people something cool without them knowing how much you paid or how you installed it...they will ooh and aah at it and ask questions how they can do it. But if you flat out tell them it cost next to nothing and it’s super easy to install, they automatically hate on the mod thinking it’s tacky and cheap looking. It’s okay. I’m only here to please the people who are true fans who understand what I’m doing. I don’t do it for the haters. The haters can just keep driving up my UA-cam views which would help my channel grow. Lol
Its a cover. Aint gonna get any better than for a budget upgrade. Better than the stock steering wheel with scratches all over it. Plus, it's temporary. I'm still trying to figure out what custom steering wheel I want.
"the flat black" parts are the nicest thing in this interior, they need to be cleaned with special interior spray, not the cockpit spray because then it looks ugly. IMO these pattern looks a lot worse than this matte black parts, for the silver parts its ok, but matte black in original is a lot better

Spent around $1500 for interior carbon fiber wrap on my w212. Bye bye faded wood trim. Well worth the $$$ and came out awesome. You're fortunate to be able to find the parts to DIY. Looks great Flexx. Looks and feels like a new car
@@TheFlexxGarage as opposed to over $3k in replacement parts, I'd do it again. Couldn't find all the parts I needed and got tired of looking. Was even luckier to find @VRDCustoms in my area too. Check em out for the next project
I'd rather an original replacement than an inlay ,but settled for the wrap. Closest best thing. Wasn't looking to cover any fuberoptics with it either. On some cars,it just doesn't look right. Others will,such as this A4
looks good from a distance. maybe a show of how it looks up close, how it fits into the entire console .. For me it looks like an advertisement for a new product from China .. 👇
You know this stuff isn’t new? I installed the same thing on my Benz 2 years ago and it’s been available in the market for like 10years. Beats vinyl wrapping trim. Plus I’m not trying to turn my car into a show car. I rather look at these while I’m driving versus the crappy black plastic all over the place. You do know that most aftermarket car part is made in China? Haha. Just cause you can buy something from a US reseller on eBay doesn’t mean it’s made in the US.
Looks great. My only problem is with the centre cap of the drivers airbag. Manufacturers spend years designing the airbags so if deployed they open a certain way but by sticking this trim over it it could compromise the release.
You knows it’s just a flexible sticker? It’s not a “trim”. I said it over and over in the video it’s an “overlay”. Haha. When you apply a crapload of pounds of force from an airbag, that sticker will be gone like it never existed.
Ehh. Don’t know. Haven’t put enough miles on each to know. Audi just eats oil. Not a lot but it does. It’s common cause of the design allows some oil to slip past the piston rings into the engine to burn up.
@@TheFlexxGarage Really? That's interesting. My B8.5 has over 100k on it, doesn't burn a drop of oil. From what I understand they fixed oil consumption after the B8
Did you order the main components as a set ? Or did you buy everything individually, I can see that you posted separate links for everything in the description. I have the same car just curious. Thanks.
Will the parts in the description match mine a4 b8 2008 year sline? ? Except steering wheel and shift knob. Is it solid and won't peel off over time? Or due to the high temperature in the car. Greeting from Poland!
@@TheFlexxGarage I'm somewhere in the middle. I also don't like the silver trim but I'm thinking about wrapping the trim with a carbon look wrap. A non glossy version. When I don't like it I can take of the wrap but not with these overlays. They will leave glue all over the original trim I guess. I am jealous about the amount of mods on your car though!
🤩💯 Great upgrade for the Interior, looks really nice you think 🤔 I can get a kit for my Audi A4 b8? if so can you let me no where I can buy one for my Audi. Thanks 🙏 and looking sharp!
Haha. Because I’m not rich and I rather spend money making something slow, fast then buying something that’s fast that cost so much more money that i have to keep it stock cause I have no money for mods. Plus, I wanna help c300 and A4 community with mods. C43 and S4 owners can learn a thing or two from my videos as well. 😎
of course. Why wouldn't they? If you follow instructions and thoroughly clean a surface so it's completely clean and then you heat the back the the trim...it's super sticky. People who dont know how to follow instructions are the ones with problems of it not sticking later on. They get the trim in the mail and rush to put them on and don't even do the properly cleaning or heating of the trim.
@@eljefe6555 Dude, you can get a heat-gun at any local hardware store. It's just a glorified hairdryer. Don't spend a ton of money thinking "Brand A" is gonna make your job turn out better, than if you use "Brand B" ... They're all the same. In fact, back in the day before heat-guns were popular; guess what we used to warm-up projects like this ... ? ... Yup. A hairdryer :P Just borrow your sisters, lol.
@@TheFlexxGarage Small mods like this are mostly sourced from other countries on sites like eBay. I'm guessing these type of mods are not popular enough to be cost effective to produce, stock, or import. Perhaps if it was a mainstream new car.

i just bought half of them for my Audi A5 2016 , i ll buy the remaining parts in 2 3 months time . Thank you very much . 😁😄
You're really good with your research man 👌🏼 they look great ! Another awesome addition 🔥

Nice!!!

I’ve seen these and didn’t know if I should buy for my car. I’m just wondering what long term use is going to be. Great video as always!
Had similar ones on my old Benz. For over 2 years. No issue as long as you do a clean install. If not, they will peel up over time.
Not a fan of the carbon fiber on the shifter but the doors do look nice
Same here..Doors looks perfect..Other mehh,,
Looks amazing😍😍
Thanks for the video bro. Gave me some good ideas. 👍👍
steering wheel gotta go all out, vicrez led guage wheel

How reliable is your Audi in comparison to W204? Could you please make a video comparing the cost of ownership of your previous Mercedes W204 vs Audi?

@@TheCompyshop same here 113K and no oil burning.
That's ghetto-fabulous right there!!!
did the carbon piece fit correctly with the quattro badge on the passenger trim piece or did you have to take that quattro badge off?
It fit over but there was a very slight bulge. Probably cleaner if you take the Quattro badge off first.
What did you select for the Audi interior model when buying the trim? Komfort, prestige, sport, etc.?
Just picked whatever looks like my interior piece. That’s all.
some of these products are very hard to find for right hand models,most are for left hand drive
hey i am not seeing a link for the ac vent and radio
Just search it on eBay. You’ll find it.
Do one for the sound system
Where did you get the heat gun that can be plugged into your car?
That’s plugged into a wall. Not car. You don’t want a heat gun plugged into your car. It will probably blow a fuse.
That looks so sick dude 🤘 fuck yea

Looks terrible.
Is there anywhere I can get these for the right hand drive model?
In those links should be an option for right hand drive. Or you’ll have to search for it.
Looks great! I'm considering doing the same for my A4 as well and was wondering what was the total cost for this
I don’t remember. Each part is listed in the description. The price are in the links.
I personally think this looks stupid and cheap. The original silver looks way more expensive. But it's no my car so do what you want.
Yup. I’ve been doing what i want and it’s worked out well for me. #ThumbsUp

Whew! Glad it only looks cheap and not actually cheap. Lol
Bro where did you get the cup holder trim with the s line emblem.
As mentioned in the video, links in the video description.
So this will work on my 2013 Audi A4 1.8T S ?
Sure
do they still stick?
of course. Why wouldn't they? If you follow instructions and thoroughly clean a surface so it's completely clean and then you heat the back the the trim...it's super sticky.

Gear shift lever was used more then an manual car:
D -> (-) -> D -> S -> (-) -> D
Nahh. It only stays in S for me. The +- shifts are way too slow with this transmission.
where did you get the heat gun?
Amazon. I think I left a link in the video description.

@Flexx Alexander I have a Q hope you can answer it
Hello friend
can you get me website to this items?
I want to shop to my car and did't find any website
As clearly mentioned in the video, look in the video description.
Just buy alcantara tape and do the pieces yourself, looks million times better imo
wait that's a thing?? is it easy to work with?
All the best stuff is abroad. I live in the UK an you can hardly get anything like this, it's all import. so annoying.
Why is that so? Nobody wants to ship there, shipping is expensive, or too many rules and regulations on aftermarket parts?
