Default Aluminum paddle shifters

Hi,

What are the part numbers for the aluminum paddle shifters, in the video he shows the right part number but not the left part number.


Right Paddle Switch - Lexus (84610-24020) fit for 2015-2021 Lexus vehicle https://oemstop.capitaltoyota.net/oe...tch-8461024020
It does not say it is aluminum but I guess it is assumed when it specifies it is for the RC-F/GS-F?

Also what is the steering wheel he has installed?


thx

The RC-F paddles aren’t actually aluminum. They are just vacuum plated plastic with a thicker metallization than standard vacuum chromed parts. They do feel cold to the touch’s he are definitely a visual and tactile upgrade from the stock painted paddles though.

Thanks for the clarification, still being plastic defeats the purpose for me but I see why some like the minor tweaks they have over the stock IS.
