Well, if it's a BRZ or FR-S you'll notice how small those flappy paddles are.

Now, go take a look at the flappy paddles for some of the other cool cars out there. Notice how they are bigger? Notice how small yours are.

Yeah. That sucks. I mean really, don't you feel inadequate.

Don't you wish they were bigger? Heck, even if you've never thought about it now you have.

Now that you have, and you're sitting there at work feeling all depressed and inadequate, TiC can offer a ray of sunshine with a couple bits of information.

First, we're pretty sure you're at your desk at work reading this. Even if you're not you will at some point in time. Don't let your boss catch you.

Second, Stark Performance has a solution for you.

It's these totally awesome flappy paddle extensions.

Get them and instantly feel better and be bigger.

You'll love it, and the chicks will too.

This is a win from turn in concepts!! I bought these justbecause of this lol!!! This is how they describe the product!

lmfao if I had an auto, I'd buy these for the same reason you did. Spot on TiC about work :bellyroll::bellyroll::bellyroll:

IKR thanks for reminding me about this

I just installed mine and went for a run through the local twisty bayou road. Very impressed with the fit, the ease of install, etc etc.

Fun notes: With you hands on the steering wheel bumps (10 and 2 o' clock-ish) you can shift with your pinkys. There's more of an audible *clack* sound when making a shift which is very pleasant to my ears. The wide curves on the back of the extensions are pretty comfy with a nice satin finish to rest your fingers on when you don't need to grip the wheel tight.

As others have mentioned once they received their set, the price is completely justified. They are plastic, but they are SOLID. Like big Lego brick solid. They fit on the stock shifters like Legos too; perfect. If you drive in manual mode 100% of the time like I do you need these in your life. 10/10 would buy again.
:burnrubber:

woohoo, bump for this! Plus, there was a price drop!

Who else has them installed?

im going to get them tomorrow!

Hey, @Shutter any way you could hook some Canadians up with a deal on shipping? Been interested in these since I got the car in Dec '14, but the dollar has been so bad, and shipping is absolute robbery to Canada from most places. I can probably get at least one more in to buy a set.
