Looks nice - really liking the wheels as well. Here's a pic of my SW upgrade with paddle shift as well. Work better than the old push buttons.

N/A

What kind of paddles are those? How was the install (if you DIY'ed) and any problems with shifting/feel?

Only C55 paddles I know of are VRP, and I think they only come in C/F or glossy black.

Mikegpr03,

Absolutely stunning! I love those BBS LMs (Wanna trade for my Monolites?). What type of springs/coilovers are you running?

Thank you all for the kind words.

As for suspension I'm running KW-V2's all around. The car runs pretty smooth
(feels stock) on the softest settings. If you make them firm then you will knock your fillings off when you go over a bump. lol

I got them from a friend who ordered the KW's but got rid of his car and had the setup new in the box sitting in his office.

. The wheels are LM's from BBS and I LOVE THEM! Cheap tires though lol

The shifter paddles were in PAIN I will never do it again. You haft to mod the hell out of the stearing wheel and It will never be able go back to push buttons again. But I don't mind they look better IMHO. I will be parting with the car this summer so I will be selling it. E55 or Z06 maybe

are the paddle shifters pretty easy to put in? My friend with an IS-F said they felt like SNES controller buttons (the L and R) lol.

When I sell the car I might do a part out and I wil include trading the stearing wheel for a stock one plus some $on top. I will also sell the wheels and suspension and lip. But thats a while away since the economy is in the ****ter!
