Stark Performance Paddle Shifter Extensions Install and Review

Stark Performance paddles part two

As promised, here is my updated review of the Stark Performance Paddle shifters. I wanted to do Mike's effort justice after he replaced the first set of paddles he sent me. I broke out my macro lens to document all the differences of the new paddles from the old ones.



The package is still the same, paddles come in this white box as pictured. The extensions, cleaner, and instructions are same except some new additions of Mike's calling card and a sticker.



Looking at the new set, it is apparent that the finish is a lot better than the first batch as Stark mentioned. The surfaces are smoother, and edges are sharper this time around. For example, here is a comparison of the old vs the new.



The old paddles have a lot of bubbles from the casting process.



The new ones have a smoother and consistent surface.



The old ones have a bubble right where the stock paddles meet the extensions, and is visible even from afar when installed.



The new batch has eliminated the bubble.



The tip of the old extensions have overspray and bubbles, plus the edges are inconsistent.



The new ones have a better finish and shape overall with minimal paint imperfections.



The new ones are molded better and fit the stock paddles more evenly.



Overall, the new batch are light years ahead of the old ones and way more worth the asking price, which was my complaint from the beginning. I want to commend Stark Performance for standing up for their product and providing excellent customer service. I understand that they-or he, is just a new company in the game, but with this attitude, will win over new customers easily. Thank you for going the extra mile for this customer!

Thank you for your updated review. I'm sorry it took as long as it did to resolve all the issues, but I'm glad to see that you are happy with the end result.
