I need to source out lower door moldings for a 2000 A4 sedan. How do the S4 moldings differ from the A4 ones? Also, how many clips should I order as well?
Finally, is genuinevwaudiparts.com the cheapest place to buy them??

Here are the specs from the order for our 00 sedan, from sunset imports(audi/porsche dealer, 1-800-346-0182) in oregon:
8D0-853-959-B-01C, LF cover(driver's), $33.55
8D0-853-969-B-01C, LR cover , $26.07
8D0-853-960-B-01C, RF cover(passenger), $33.55
8D0-853-970-B-01C, RR cover , $26.07
8D0-853-909-B , clip, qty. 26 , $0.54 each
I'm sure a number of the sellers here are right around these numbers or possibly less? Anyway, this gives you one reference/data point. I also replaced the foot rest cover as well since ours was scratched up. Here is the data for that:
8D1-864-777-1EJ, support(dr ft rest), $11.35
It makes the interior look much nicer when you enter the car now.
I believe the only difference between the S4 and standard is the S4 is prepped or set to be painted the body color. The standard have a matte black finish meant to stand up to the weather.

I don't think thats accurate. The lower molding on the A4 is made of like a rubbery/plastic material. Furthermore the A4 ones go below the door further (they overlap the stock sills). The S4 ones are hard plastic, no flexibility, and I think they actually sit a touch higher.

Hence the term "I believe". The A4 ones are pretty hard, at least the one I just installed were. There was very little flex, if at all in them(metal frame inside).Yes, your probably right that the S4 units are probably a tade larger.

S4 has side skirts over the sills. S4 piece is more uniform, top and bottom about same thickness, as opposed to top of A4 being a cm and a half or so, bottom being 1/3cm give or take..
