I've seen some aftermarket paddles available, but they didn't appear to be low-key.
Are your paddles red? If so, I'd swap them out for the dark colored ones. If you already have the dark colored paddles, perhaps you could remove them and trim them down with a dremel tool, repaint them, and install them. You would have a custom setup and minimal cost. Just some food for thought.

If you have a set of Red or Yellow paddles, I bet some forum member would offer to swap their stock black ones off a '14 or '15
If you have a carbon fiber steering wheel, there is a vendor that offers a set of real CF paddles. And I bet one of the hydro dip vendors could dip yours if you were interested in going that route.

I've got this same setup as FR. My wheel, paddle shifters and steering wheel buttons (all of this in Carbon Fiber) came from Apsis USA.
Looks like some folks missed the memo here that the OP was looking for less bling, not more.
I think blah, black plastic, rev-matching paddles shifters are pretty invisible, so I'm not how one would make them more so and still have them easy to reach.

Yes this. My thought is that a M7 shouldn't have paddles in the first place. I think the rev matching is awesome but activating it should have been done somewhere else. Just a minor annoyance is all.
From a manufacturing cost standpoint, it makes more sense to keep the steering wheel design consistent. Moreover, putting a different switch somewhere else for rev-matching would have added to manufacturing complexity and cost.
It makes sense to use the same paddle design for shifting on autos, and rev-matching on manuals.
