Just won the latest eBay auction for a set of these. An in-depth report from a ham-fisted ex-autocrosser coming soon.

The YouTube video makes the install look nearly effortless. Looking forward to it.

Which website because those in the auction are a direct copy of gorgonian's. I found the link through a thread started on here directing people to that auction. Now the thread is gone and the auction says they're sold out all of a sudden.

I'm just tired of shady people taking someone else's work and blatantly passing it off as their own. It's a major reason why more development never gets done and since these cars are getting older now, what's the incentive if someone with 100% positive feedback can rip you off?

Back on topic, these paddles are great! A bit more surface area to get ahold of whether you drive with your hands @ 10 & 2, or 8 & 4 like I do. Installl took about 10 minutes total because I was taking my time. They also look OEM.

Will do. The are so much easier to reach in about 99.9% of driving, feel solid and so far, everyone who has seen them think they're OEM. IMO, they're the perfect compromise of doing the c63 paddle swap and adding extensions. I'm super critical and haven't found fault with these yet.

Hi Gordon,
Do you still have a pair of these paddles for sale? I have a 2006 c55 and would like to install them.

Thank you,

John

Gordon, I ordered and installed your paddles a few weeks back. Removing the existing buttons was bit more challenging than I expected as the plastic feels like it could crack pretty easily. Definitely requires some finesse. Installation of your paddles was super easy as they click right in. Very happy with them. Great product!
