Im not here to hate but the steering wheel aint the best

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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.

[@57RollsRoycePhantom]

Looks 1000x better than stock and people still whining.... 😂🙃🤷‍♂️ great mods!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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 KZbin views which would help my channel grow. Lol

[@anonimuldduckx274]

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 . 😁😄

[@dsante56]

Looks terrible.

[@8igdannyd]

You're really good with your research man 👌🏼 they look great ! Another awesome addition 🔥

[@zroxor3801]

"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

[@jaydenlee2186]

You inspired me! I bought the exact same car. Silver 2015 Audi A4 s line. Love the mods and I hope I can do some of them to mine 🙌🏻

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Nice!!!

[@jaydenlee2186]

@@TheFlexxGarage so far I’ve thrown in a luft-technik intake, ecs high flow cat and downpipe, but I’m throwing an intercooler on and going stage 2 soon! I’ll keep you updated brotha 🔥

[@AZAN-SHEIKH]

I am also planning to buy this car soon any suggestions for me ?

[@grzegorzszostak8998]

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 .. 👇

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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.

[@wadimek116]

Actually expect the steering wheel and gear shift it looks really nice

[@72onthvurg]

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]

damn that expensive...but if you think its worth it..then its worth it. Nice!

[@72onthvurg]

@@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

[@72onthvurg]

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

[@chavezvargas817]

Bouta order all the shit for my 14 A4 thanks bro it looks awesome

[@J-luna]

Thanks for the video bro. Gave me some good ideas. 👍👍

[@kinderutz]

That's ghetto-fabulous right there!!!

[@Adam1llion]

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!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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.

[@HarshdeepParhar]

Looks amazing😍😍

[@danielladaniels4297]

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.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Seperate

Not a fan of the carbon fiber on the shifter but the doors do look nice

Same here..Doors looks perfect..Other mehh,,

[@horohito]

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?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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.

[@TheCompyshop]

@@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

[@neveragain000]

@@TheCompyshop same here 113K and no oil burning.

[@johnbaldock6353]

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.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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.

[@nickgiesinger3513]

steering wheel gotta go all out, vicrez led guage wheel

[@drewgracik592]

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?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

It fit over but there was a very slight bulge. Probably cleaner if you take the Quattro badge off first.

[@szymonlacki]

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!

[@MartialDuartist]

Bro, that looks sick. Very tasteful upgrade. Nice job!

[@chrisc5186]

Looks great! I'm considering doing the same for my A4 as well and was wondering what was the total cost for this

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I don’t remember. Each part is listed in the description. The price are in the links.

[@12raymond56]

some of these products are very hard to find for right hand models,most are for left hand drive

[@NiallJones1986]

That looks so sick dude 🤘 fuck yea

[@demnawf7214]

I've always wondered why you own both a c300 and A4 instead just having one C43 or S4

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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. 😎

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.

Thank you very much for this very helpful video..

[@MrMijnaccount1]

@@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!

[@eljefe6555]

Where did you get the heat gun that can be plugged into your car?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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.

Nahh. It only stays in S for me. The +- shifts are way too slow with this transmission.

[@miker8225]

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.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Why is that so? Nobody wants to ship there, shipping is expensive, or too many rules and regulations on aftermarket parts?

[@miker8225]

@@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.

[@somebody6122]

do they still stick?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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.
