Default $25 upgrade for paddle shifters

Look at these... they were $25 on eBay... are actually metal and a pretty good build quality... fitment is pretty good but not perfect.

Ah, having the originals still there would bug the crap out of me. Do they make a set that replaces the original paddles instead?

so this sort of bothered me too even though you really can't see it much... so i went ahead and ordered some black paddle shifters for $25 lol hope it works like oem.

also i realized that the extenders have a very shiny reflective edge where it blinds me when the sun hits it ast the right angle... so i ordered some plastic matte black extenders and ill let you guys know how it goes
