Default Red Paddles able to be ordered retrofit?

I see the new red paddles for the A8 that Kerbeck showed in his thread. I like them, and want to get the flat bottom wheel soon. I'm wondering if the red paddles can be bought with a new wheel for my 2015???

Thanks in advance for the answers.

I would also like the new 3LT headliner as soon as it's available.

I too want the red paddles. I'm hoping at some point they will show up as a standalone part on GM site. They're not hard to replace. I don't need the D wheel as I already have it.

I'm sure they'll be available at some point.

Buy a set of S2T paddles.

Paint/powder coat red

Enjoy.

Far superior looking and feeling paddles compared to stock. Can be ordered in different offsets and longer lengths too.

Same procedure as changing factory ones.

My steering wheel was off and I had Caravaggio install the paddles for me when they were doing the new wheel.

I already had the flat bottom wheel put in. Only cost around $50 to have installed at my dealer.

I'm really hoping for that New 3LT roof headliner though. Still no word on any of the 17' parts from Cultrag.

Is that quilted roof also on 3LT Corvette's or just the GS?

Thank you I did not know that. My Corvette was born yesterday and is a 3LT. Glad to know that is included as I really like that look.

Awesome. You will be so happy you went 3LT. Some guys say it's not worth it, but trust me it is. Very noticeable difference, even if all jet black!

I agree, my wife and I are at the point in our lives where money earned over a lifetime of working cannot be taken with you when you die. You work hard and live right it is now time to enjoy life or what's left of it after all your dedication to work. Besides, it's really not that much more and if you like that look and everything that comes with it then just get it!

Oh, I see you live in Chicago, hope you carry a gun to protect yourself in the rec Corvette! We here a lot about your city here in Houston. Lots of crime and shootings there.

I'm actually in the suburbs so it's not bad at all where I live. I fully agree with your choices though. I'm 31 and my wife and I do not buy into the consumerist nature that causes most people to become trapped. The Corvette is the one big thing we enjoy ( as its paid off) since we do not fill our lives with anything frivolous. I can't tell you how many people I meet who say they wish they could have one but can't, yet waste there money on all sorts of junk. I know everyone is different but having a fun car is a value and dream to us and not something we'd give up for anything. Best of luck with your new C7. Your gonna love it!

I want the wheel and the paddles too... Maybe one day. I like the flat bottom. Really adds nothing but nice aesthetics. Wish I could sell the '15 wheel for some money to make it up.

How much is the wheel? (sorry somewhat off topic)
