Default I swapped out the black rev match paddles...

Over to the red ones! Definitely made a big difference on the interior. Very pleased with the quality of them (they are OEM so I figured it would be good) somehow they feel even better than the black ones. The stock black paddles were a slightly textured material while these are basically clear coated so they feel more "premium" and they look great. I included a how to style video at the bottom of this post for anyone interested in doing it. Really not hard at all and it makes the interior POP!

I got mine from Amazon. they were back ordered so it took about two weeks to get. You can also get them on RockAuto though.

I watched your video, very nice. I'm a little nervous doing it my self but might give it a try. How long did it take to do the whole process. Is it difficult working with the airbag? Nervous about triggering I'm n airbag or breaking the plastic bezel, lol...

You can disconnect the battery if you're really worried about it but honestly there's no reason it would go off. The whole process took me about 20 minutes it actually took longer to film that than it did to do the actual install. It would be really hard to break anyting everything is pretty solid right through that area. If you follow that how to you'll get it done in pretty much the same amount of time. if I had to do it again I'd probably be able to get it done in like 5 minutes now!

Thanks, that gives me much more confidence. I'm going to try it. I have the seat belt stays and they work great. 20 minutes is a piece of cake then !!

It really is a piece of cake. Peach paddles hold on with one bolt and has one small wire harness going to it. One of the easiest mods I've done yet!

Looks good Jay! Consider getting the red seat belts too. That will bring out the paddle shifters.

I am definitely considering them it would be the perfect amount of red on the interior in my opinion. Might be a little more involved for the install, though.

I agree. They look nice and red seatbelts and perhaps the red stitching mod would also tie it all in together.

I like the idea of the red stitching mod, but I'm not sure of its longevity. If it lasts, though, I'm interested!

I've done the job if you need some tips. Yes, its much more involved.

You should link us to the lights that you use in your garage, they look like they are seriously bright

Just kidding, great video! I'm going to get some for my grand sport.
