Paddle shifter extensions
Does anybody know of any paddle shifter extensions out there that are available for our cars? There are a ton of options available for the BMW and Mercedes platform that run between $50 and $100 but I had no luck when I tried searching the web for ANY options for our Lexus platform.
If we had enough interest, I wonder if we could get a company to manufacture some nice aluminum ones! Any interest?

Well it looks like something is already in the works! If any of you guys are interested he is looking for some additional input over in the 3IS section.

those don't look too bad compared to some other ones I've seen that were crazy long. Guess I've never really understood the purpose of these. Are they suppose to make the shifting easier, better or are they just for looks?

I do know there has been a few times I was turning & I was trying to find my paddle to shift to another gear (still not sure how a longer one is going to help this issue though) & it was not easy to find. Like Doug had said before, it would have made a lot more sense to mount them on the column or somewhere else other than where they are. Not really sure WHAT their reasoning was for putting them on the steering wheel.

The pursuit of F
Exactly why the extensions would be beneficial to me. Though ~$200 OTD (Cdn) I have considered for the NX is steep. I'd buy them for under $100. I'm ok with the paddles in the RC F since they are a little bigger than the ones in the RC/IS/NX.

Yep, to me $160 is really steep though just for a stick on & $250 for the CF is STUPID Expensive! But, i guess i'm still not really understanding how these will help with the shifting. When i use the paddle shifter i use it from the outside of the steering wheel, the extensions go up & i don't see how this would help unless you're shifting from the inside of your steering wheel! jmo
