    Carbon Atlas real carbon fiber?

    Hey everyone, new here and researching a potential purchase of a new S4. I'm curious if the Carbon Atlas trim option is real carbon fiber or a fake plastic look a like. I had an Acura TL with the fake stuff and it was pretty obvious. Hoping the S4 has real carbon fiber and/or looks a lot better.

    It's real. Not a super high-end variety, but definitely real.

    There are some aftermarket options for higher-end CF, such as oCarbon (sponsor here). Or if you buy a car that doesn't have it, you can drop around $6-800 and swap it out.

    oCarbon makes an aftermarket set, but the price from audi is honestly very very good. It may be lower quality but it certainly won't break easily and for $500, its much cheaper than what oCarbon offers it for (around $2000).

    one of my oem inserts did crack and Audi wants 750 to replace it.

    We charge $600 for the same pieces that the OEM package is.

    It's not low quality, just a different weave that most don't find as attractive as the RS4 style.
