Carbon fiber shift paddles installed

[absaifan]

I struggled finding good photos online to help me chose the right paddles for my taste, hope these help someone decide
Install is a breeze 2 minutes
I think they were rexpeed shifter paddles, it's been a while since I ordered them.

Quality is amazing and almost identical to the original center console carbon.

Packaging could have been better, but glad it arrived safe.

I was going to post about my carbon shifter install, but you beat me to it! I have the same set. Yes, very easy to install. Yes, Rexpeed. Yes, the carbon looks like OEM center. I cleaned the surface first and heated up the areas a little bit. I really like them compared to the smaller OEM paddle setup. I did attach a photo of the carbon strips for the passenger side, also Rexpeed.

Nice congrats and hope they last a while and not pop off while shifting

LOL... yeah they seem pretty solid (I think heating up the tape and the OEM shifters really helped). Time will tell.

I want the full carbon replacements but the $400 price tag scares me away a bit. Maybe I'll go with these until I'm ready to make the investment in the full replacements. Thanks for the post guys.

Quality looks good from the pictures but it just looks like it's missing a piece like you forgot to put the cap on it. I think it would be better if they made it so it installs from the front and covers the whole paddle and a clip for the backing so you don't pull it off when you use the paddle shifters.

I suppose one can wrap the factory paddles black before applying the CF attachments. That way one can hide the (-) and (+) on the factory paddles too to eliminate the redundancy.

any word on how these are holding up to normal usage?

Excellent paddle shifters, still work perfect and are solid

I feel like these would just fall off after a summer from the heat

I second that, still attached. It has been pretty hot getting into my car parked in the direct sun all-day the past few weeks. Tugged on them and tried moving them around, and no issues. Maybe when it gets really cold this winter, the adhesive will start to fail, not sure. I think it was branded 3M, but you never know.

does anyone know where i can get a wrap for the paddles? I'd like to make them black before applying the extensions

I've got these too, haven't installed yet while waiting for my CF wheel to arrive but I've also ordered a set of proper CF paddles so not sure which I'll go with yet...

 

[puzzled]

When I make custom overlays I wrap the part with blue painter's tape to make the template. It's really not difficult to do. If it is, then it will also be a challenge to wrap the piece so I'd watch out for that.

I can’t find them on Rexpeed site, anyone has a link for ordering?
