Cool, though I might make them a little smaller

Make them a bit longer and you can shift with your knee

I do like the Ferrariesque shape and nature of those carbon fiber paddles but about half that length (and maybe a tad bit wider) would be ideal for me.

Just make sure your window is closed or you'll downshift without knowing it!

But seriously, kennyC6, I am worried about accidental downshifts. I track my Paddle Z-51 and find that even the stock paddles are too close to the rim. Sometimes I accidentally shift when steering gets exciting. And, downshifting in a corner can be a VERY BAD THING with the torque we have in the Vette. Best of luck.
