Shift Koncepts

So this is for all the auto crew out there but I think I have finally found the best extender on the market. I found these from a Facebook ad and when I started chatting with the rep from Shift Koncepts they were really perceptive of what I was looking for.

I had tried the GCS paddle shifters and you literally had to drill screws into your stock paddle to keep them from falling off. They did not look clean and were not a flush fit.

I then tried the Stark paddle extenders and while they had a perfect fit, they were held on by the liquid 3m adhesive which pretty much meant they fell off whenever the temps were drastically hot or cold.

So I decided what the hell and threw these guys a ton of cash because these are not cheap but you get what you pay for. I got the Kevlar set with the red accents and they fit like a glove and look great. I went on the good ol ft86club forums to find reviews and all I could find was a post or two about how ugly their early designs were. Sure you can still order those crazy long extenders but every material and design option they have they sell in a standard extension size that will not interfere with the cruise control stock.

If you have an auto and want something different, I did all the R&D for you and just go buy these. They start at 75 bucks for the fiber glass set and go up from there.

They make good stuff. I've seen the shifters on a EVO X and they were nice.
