Paddle shifter replacement? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BRZPDX · 03-08-2013, 04:00 PM

Anyone replace their silver paddle shifter to something a little bigger, perhaps a CF shifter? Its a bit small for me when I'm turning, and a bigger shifter would seem to be easier to click it.

Also I think it'll look bad ass with a bigger shifter that's CF.

Any vendors/parts for this yet?

^ also one that won't turn with the wheel would be nice.

I've been thinking about making something custom, but haven't had the time to figure out how to remove the stock paddles. I'd probably go for a billet aluminum look.

Yep, would love to have the ones on the STi A-Line. Or something like the Liberal Carbon Fiber paddles for the Legacy but "real" carbon.

upon further research, seems like a custom made option is the only thing we have. I will try to find a custom CF fabrication company locally here, and if enough interests I can keep the mold and produce it for people that want them.
