Are there any differences in the looks and color between the S4 and S5 shifter surround peice? Im buying a S5 radio suround and vents to replace my broken S4 ones and im wondering if ill need to buy the shifter part as well.

S5 is made of a different material. Its rubbers on S5 vs plastic on S4. You should buy the shifter piece with it. Someone I know has a S5 radio surround with a s4 shifter surround, and they dont seem to match. It just doesnt look right.

Yeah I put the S5 interior Pieces in my car. The Stock S4 pieces are crap. Well. i'm sure their great when new. but after time they get hard and brittle and break easily.



S5. Much better.

S5--- Eww i hate electric Seat belts.



Lol. Sorry

I have heard of some people swapping over belts. I dont think it would be too hard. Just make sure you have all the parts before you start.
