Here a a few pictures of the Techart shifter paddles i just had installed. Love them.

 

do they have a alcantara finish???

is that a custom option?

 

Yes, they are in alcantara with white +-. The base ones are silver painted but you can order them just about any way you want.

 

I am jealous. If I had known I could do this, I would have ordered with the Multi function steering wheel. Looks awesome. Congratulations.

 

How difficult is the install? Do the thumb rest buttons push in or are they fixed and nonfunctional?

 

$1000?

 

I looked into doing this as a DIY, but once I found out what was involved, decided against it. You have to take the steering wheel off and take it apart. I am pretty handy, but it looked like a lot of work, and I did not want to mess with the possibility of accidentally tripping the air bag.

 

can u comment on this?

 

Thumb buttons become static and unusable from what I've read and seen. Almost bought this item then got used to the buttons.

 

The thumb rest are non-functional, they just fill the gap where the other buttons were on the front. So the results are the function like the paddle shifters on the sport steering wheel.

I had my Porsche dealer install and they charged $250.

 

These look nicer than the Champion shifter paddles I had installed.
