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 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!

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

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.
