Has anyone messed with the paddle shifters?

TenaciousZ · 12-14-2012, 10:19 AM

Just wondering if anyone on here as done anything aftermarket with the paddle shifters?

Replacement paddles or stock wrapped in carbon fiber?

The stock paddles look fine but when was stock ever good enough around here?

Since they are so thing it seems possible to make them out of cf instead of wrapping....

They're good enough for me. Why waste money when it can be spent more wisely.

There was a thread a while back on some CF ones. If I remember correctly they are in the $600 range. Looked cool & all, but I'd be hard pressed to spend $600 on 'em. Especially since you really don't' even see them.

$600 for that is crazy. Completely agree it could be spent better.

The stock paddles don't bother me at all, I was just curious what was out there.

Figured with all the show quality cars out there, somebody must have done something.

Only? well in that case....

Those do look amazing though.

The CF paddles do look nice, but at $450 (or should that be, "only $450"?), I would very much prefer a wrap, if a wrap would hold up to constant use.
