Shift Paddle Extenders

Anyone purchase these? About $100 cheaper than the other options out there.

I'm curious about the extenders in general. Anyone running them? Are they actually useful? I haven't felt myself missing a paddle yet so wondering if it's just a cosmetic mod or a must-have.

Not a fan of these. They use 3m tape to stick onto the existing paddles...that's why they're so cheap. I've seen postings elsewhere that talk about them feeling flimsy or coming loose. The more expensive ones require you to remove the old paddles and screw in the new ones

I always found the stock paddles to be a bit stubby, so I got a set of colour matched LBB ones from Autoteknic that I really like.

looks cheap with the 3m tape. banging them hard would probably cause them to fall off, especially on track. anyway real dirvers shift gears

Hi Drew,
I'm in Australia and have ordered a set. They're actually making new ones (in-house). I'll send through some photos of these once I've received them. They are Australia based (QLD to be more precise).

Appreciate it. I went ahead and ordered a set in blue as well to match my blue start/stop button.

They sent me mockup of their in-house version, but they look quite similar to the ones I just bought.

Ended up taking a gamble with these. Asked the seller for pics of the item before paying and they appear to look similar to LBB. Fingers crossed they come out okay - Reviews suggest they're good. Will post pics and update once I've received them.

Well...they arrived in the mail today! they feel really good (solid aluminum construction) and the blue looks really cool too! I haven't had the chance to install as yet but hopefully next week at some stage. happy with the finish and has a "matt-ish" LBB appearance. definitely happy with them visually but let's see how they hold up with fitment.

I guess that's a matter of opinion. For a cosmetic upgrade and what I think is good quality for the price I paid, I'm more than happy with it. 20 odd people have also ordered it and have rated it on average 4.6/5.

Send Cat from IND a PM, she will look after you. Knowing the quality and service from IND they will match it up perfectly for you.
