Default A6 Shifter Trim

Is the brushed silver trim
on the shifter removable?
Feels like it is over the
shifter button.
Thx ahead.

I used a local guy here in NJ and honestly wouldn't recommend them. The pieces are growing on me, but when i gave them the exact pattern color I wanted, they said they could match it perfectly. Of course a week later they said they could't find the film the other guy used and i settled on their pattern and it has too much silver in it for me. Also, none of the pieces are "perfect" like i wished they were, or the way I would make sure they were if I did them!! When I say perfect, I mean straight. They're all bending lines not straight lines..... annoys the **** out of me but it's my fault for accepting it and not saying anything about it....

PS there are plenty of places that do hydrocarbon, many of them forum sponsors. American hydrocarbon, TKO, and many more. Start a thread and ask around and make sure you get one highly recommended, cause some are a$$*&%$...
