Bought the SupraStick; Need paddle shifters?
So I bought the SupraStick tranny controller and I SWEAR I saw that it does not come with paddles or anything of the sort...
Where can I get a cheap set of paddles for my car? Everything I'm finding is either a complete kit (where things aren't sold separately) or the paddles are $500+.... Having a hard time grasping the fact that paddles would cost more than the transmission controller. Maybe I'm an idiot and doing all the wrong searching?
A new steering wheel with paddles that I can plug into would be fine..
Any ideas or links?
Thanks,
Shane

any newer lexus or toyota steering wheel that came on a car equipped with the button shifters.
like my 2002 gs300 steering wheel has the up down buttons on it. not doing anything for me but maybe you could hook them up for that.
alot of the IS300 wheels have it as well.

Perfect, thanks guys.. I though about the button route.. Though paddles would make me feel like a tiny Italian man ripping down the twisties in a Ferrari lol
My other option was to shift gears with the cruise control stick, but that isn't fun....

I will just never understand paddle shifters on a sports car. I would prefer to drive just about anything with a manual gearbox over one of those. especially in a turbo car you need to drop more than on gear quite often you will be paddling all over the place.

If all you want are the paddle's & wheel adapter there are quite a few oem, and some aftermarket paddles on ebay for under $100.I was actually considering this exact route when I get my car healthy enough to start modding.
