Piece of cake, which is how cosmetic changes should be.

For a second there I thought I ventured out of CFOT. Glad to know this is just in the wrong section.







Looks good though.

Same upgrade here. Kind of a fun tweak. And, for once, I didn't break anything!

Somebody needs to come up with an aftermarket product in different colors, that just fits or snaps onto the existing paddle.

Don't know how you could do it without being too bulky.

Anyway, very easy to do.

The red paddle shifters are a perfect touch for the red interior.

yup, easy as pie. I love mine. Now, dye the stitching red, and swap out the black seat belts for red. Looks awesome!!! I'm so happy i did those 3 things to my all black interior. Looks sweet with my red calipers.
