Default Red Paddles

A friend of mine is putting his order in for a 2019 Z soon. He likes the red stitching but pointed out to me the red rev match paddles as shown in the following:






I had not see the red paddles before. What does the CF say? I think the red paddles and the red belts took awesome.

Almost every set of paddles I've seen (including on my car) have been red, with yellow paddles being the rare exception.

I hate the paddles. I don’t care what color they are. Just don’t make any sense to me to put paddles on the steering wheel to turn rev match on or off. Put the button somewhere out of the way. It’s not like you would turn rev match on and off as you are driving the car. One of the few things I’m not a fan of on my car.

I switched out my factory Black paddles to Yellow paddles to match my Yellow Calipers....

Get a lot of compliments!!

Maybe down the line switch to Yellow Seat Belts....

I want the red paddles and the red seat belts. I would have liked to have had the red stitching option but I got everything else I wanted I guess lol.

Red paddles and red stitching rocks but I am not a fan of the red seatbelts unless you are going with red interior.

IF red stitching is involved, then I think it works.

You have a point.
For those who have an A8, it's an entirely different story.

The red paddle shifters are nice and match up with the other red trim, however what I'm really interested in is this center console shifter delete option. Is that a track pad?

Or you could get them in Carbon Fiber from an aftermarket Vendor!

I did notice that pic looked suspiciously fake.

Picture was taken from Chevy's build and price site. I didn't even notice the shiftier was not in the picture.

That's my interior too (but with the Alcantara package). Red paddles, red stitching, and black belts. Love it.
