I know this project is taking a LONG time.. but.. I just have no control to make it go any faster...

Saying all that.... Here is a sneak peek at the Carbon Fiber prototype paddles that just came out.. More pics will come next week.. For now, the factory sent me this shot...

Remember, this first version is for all cars EXCEPT the E55.. that is the odd-ball car so I am doing that one next..

We can wait...we know it'll be done right if it passes your quality control eye. Keep us posted...you know I'm in for a set along with about a couple hundred other jokers just like me.

Don't mean to arrive late to the party, but be careful about etching "AMG" on the paddles: serious Trademark law issues there. Wouldn't want to see MB get on your case about that. Let me know if you want more details/clarifications.

thnx

p.s.: I am in when you are ready for sale to use oddballs.

LOL.. I knew you guys would want the carbon fiber once you saw pics of it... I'll post better pics soon once I get the high res versions.

--------------------------------------------------------

Keith... Silver? Hmmm... I can ask them to do a 1-off set for you and see what they want for it... Let me get a quote..

Yup.. We came to the same conclusion.. We are just leaving the paddles plain. It is the most cost effective way to do it and besides the steering wheel already has the + and - marks on it anyways.
