Default 2017 red paddle install






Thank you Trunk Monkey for the great service on my recent order of 2017 Red Paddles and Red Seat Belts. The install of the paddles was a piece of cake, they are much better quality of the 2014 paddies and red contrast is awesome.

I will be installing the seat belts later this weekend.

So you didn't have to take the wheel off? I had mine off once to switch to a sued D bottom and would prefer not to do that again. Just airbag and bezel?

Nice, that looks great! I look forward to seeing the belts and hearing how tough/easy that install is.

I did not unbolt the wheel, just popped the bag and bezel off.

just popped the bag and bezel off, that bolt is a PIA. I'm glad I did not have to remove it again..

same here, luckily mine ended up coming off in my garage.

I'm not sure on auto stock, best bet is just to email them. They are very quick to respond. I do know there is problem sourcing the yellow paddies.

Wow- that is a reasonable price.
Looks great!

Are these made out of plastic?
Same size as stock?

What makes the new, colored paddles better quality? Are the molds a thicker plastic or are the paddles a new design?

I am still looking for some aftermarket brushed aluminum or black aluminum Rev Match (M7) paddles. I've only seen the A8 versions with the (+) and (+) paddles.

I just had my red paddles installed at the dealership for $40. I love the look as well.
