Yep you can, i haven't done it myself but doesn't seem difficult at all.

In this thread you can see where it points to unscrew them.

And here is a full tutorial on removing the steering wheel if you need it.

I've been thinking about relocating or adjusting the wiper stalk because it gets in my way when I'm using the paddles in a slide. How do the paddles get in your way? From getting a full grip on the wheel?

i just replaced the steering wheel with a mt steering wheel LOL

edit : the paddle shifters are connected to the steering wheel so you can easily replace it with a regular or aftermarket

I wouldn't have bought my AT without paddle shifters. That being said, he can still shift in Manual mode with the automatic transmission gear selector.
