How did you install them, any improvement? I want larger paddles but am not a fan of those extensions, at least for most of them I've seen.

Do you have your exhaust dipped as well? Thinking of doing mine, not sure since I already have so much blacked out.

Me too. I am hoping the LC500 paddles are compatible:

Installed by mechanic after hours. With hands on the 10 - 2 position can shift easily with pinky finger though I prefer using ring and pinky fingers together.
The outsides of the paddles set higher.



The paddle is attached via a hollow roll pin. May be able to adapt a larger paddle.

Returned from the beach yesterday so I had to get all those bugs off the front bumper and decided to clean wheels while I was at it.

Sprayed my grill trim with Didspade Invcitus Hypershift. Pics don't do it justice, shifts very hard thru about 5 colors, looks insane in person. Applied in plastidip with sprayer. May do my fogs eventually or may black out the trim and do a tint on them too. Can post up some better pics in the sun tommorow if anyone is interested. Everything else on my car is blacked out, so I thought this adds some cool contrast.
