When I see stuff like this I wish I had the patience to wait for an AT, but I opted for the MT instead because I didn't want to wait 4 months

Also would be cool to have a two - way paddle shifter like BMW. A push would be down shift and pull - upshift.

Good idea

I think he's saying it does replace the paddles, just not the mechanism itself.

Sounds cool to me as long as they don't cost an arm and a leg! With a hot lava exterior is it better to match the seat wing red or the exterior orange, or just black?

i think it would be best just black or match the red stitching in the car because say people have white out it would be weird with the only white interior detail.. just my thought haha

Just updated an DIY to take the paddles off. It was pretty easy with no special tool required.

I'd be interested depending on the price, they look really cool as is in the picture. Would really like them like that as they would match the interior really well.
