Yeah I ordered silver ones from China on aliexpress.
They fit well, no vibration, allow easier shifts at 10 and 2 or 4 and 6.
I ordered silver, wish I had ordered the gray, would blend better into the dash color scheme.
The right paddle bumps the cruise control lever ever so slightly, not enough to do anything, just touch it.
Oh: they block the light that tells you the wipers are on auto. That bugs me a little.

Question. I'm really not trying to be rude, just wondering. Do most people really use the paddle shifters a lot? I never use them. Have had them on every car we buy these days, but have never used them.
Those extenders look pretty cool, though.

I've tried, but it's easier for me (out of habit) to just use the shift box. I don't keep the car in M anyway, so at some point, I have to move the shifter over.

I use the paddle shifters all the time. Usually to downshift when I need to slow down a little but don't want to hit the brakes. I like to throw it in M once a week or so for a few minutes to have a little extra fun.
I ended up ordering the silver ones and waiting for them to arrive. I will take pics when they are on.
One question to islandbeef, did the add on's nick or gouge the stock paddles? I see it uses the turn screws to hold it into place.

I am seriously considering these paddle shift extenders!
The factory paddles look absent. Wish Lexus made them stick out a bit more especially being an F Sport model.
Thought about getting the red paddles since my brake calipers are painted in true red and interior leather in cabernet red.
However I think it may look too tacky and off with mismatching paddle colors, so I think silver (or grey?) is the way to go.

I rarely use them but do so from time to time just to make sure they still work. LOL

RR Racing just came out with this one for the IS.

Does anyone know if the IS and the GS paddles are the same?
