Paddle shifters.

[Tinter]

Have any of any you Aussie owners bought paddle shifters that I’ve seen for sale on K8 Stinger store?
Specifically what is the quality like, do the encroach on the instrumentation visually?
Any pluses or negs?
I’m looking at red purely for a visual enhancement.

Pretty good but they use a grub screw to hold them on so it may leave and indent if u take them off.

Cheers for the heads up!
I wondered if this might be the case?
Are there any other alternatives out there in Stinger land that don’t do that?

I’ve had a bit of a search & by the looks of things there is only one style/brand.

Thx mate but for me if they can’t make it spot on, then it’s not for me.

I recently bought one from Korea as it was half the price compared to US.
you can either use the provided screws to mount them or you can use 3m double sided tape which isn't provided.
This basically is just visual enhancement like you said as pulling (shifting) on the lower/upper part doesn't really work well. it works well if you pull in the middle where the original shifter is.

They could also put a strain on oem paddles as they are made of plastic.

Cheers and thx enormously for the feedback but that fitting and it’s perceived flimsy construction has sealed it for me.

You can buy the oem paddle shifters on ebay quite cheap if they did break.
