Those look great! Do they just attach to the stock paddles or do they swap out somehow? How much larger than the stockies are they? Any plans to put a +/- on them?

Finally some paddles that aren't tacky and/or comically large.

If the price point makes sense and if the installation is easy/straightforward, I will be very interested in these.

Thank you for the interest so far! We will have installed pictures and pricing up very soon! They attach onto the OEM paddles for an easy installation. I can promise that pricing will be very competitive compared to the current offerings :

VFR-- Product looks great. Competitive pricing compared to current items is the problem. With fair and reasonable pricing you will sell a bunch of these.

Any ideas on a "solid" installation technique? I want to be able to pull this "in the heat of battle" and not have it pop off. 3M tape won't cut it IMO.

I will admit those are by far the best looking stick on paddles but I still dislike the double paddle look. Good price too

These do look good, I think you can probably get away from the "double" paddle look, but removing and painting the OEM paddles black. But No gusta on just the double sided tape application.
