Default Yellow shift paddles
Finally received the yellow shift paddles for my beast. Took about 10 minutes to install them. Looks great, it matches the exterior color and breaks up the black interior.
Paddles came from CorvetteMods... unfortunately took longer to receive due to CanadaPost strike.

disconnect battery
pull the airbag and trim out about 3 inches... just enough room to access the screw holding the paddle.
I used a small T25 bit with a wrench so I didn't have to disconnect any of the airbag or steering controls.
The paddles are held by 1 screw each plus a wire connector.

I watched a guy on YouTube twice while waiting for the parts to arrive plus i worked as a car mechanic for many years as a teen. No big deal.

Love the yellow accents...they are on my list. As to the seatbelts, I have looked and have not found any I like (not doing universal seat belts) and GM/Chevy does not offer them in their C7 parts catalog.

Did you check with seatbeltplanet.com? They are custom made and are not universal. You will have to remove your seat belts and retractors and send the entire seat belt assembly to them and they will re web your seat belts. The will be just like OEM. They are great to work with.
