more pictures to come soon!
Looks good! Do these replace the OEM paddles, or are they 'tacked' on like the Revozport paddles for example? If so, how are they attached? Price?

I would that these are add-ons to the OEM paddles since they said they were extensions.

Dangit they are tack on

VFR, how do these attach to the OEM paddles? Assuming two way tape or glue as a permanent fix?

Looking forward to pricing 👍

Prices and installed picts posted!

Yes, double sided taped will hold it fine, but epoxy/glue can give you a permanent solution if you wish to have it installed permanently

VFR, will you guys also offer paddles that will fit cleanly to the smaller black shift paddles? I did not get the performance steering wheel on my 45, and thus are stuck with the smaller black paddles. If so, I'm interested.

Thanks so much! Really have a great feel to them and it's nice to be able to hit the paddles from about any hand position on the wheel. Beautiful finish and fast shipping too.
