Extended PDK Paddles?

Hey what's up guys so I just had a set of extended paddles installed on my DCT M3. They "click" perfectly by the way. Feel like I'm driving a Ferrari now. There are multiple choices of paddles on the DCT steering wheel. So if people have made them for the BMW steering wheel I figure someone must have something for the Porsche PDK wheel. Anyone know of anything? Thx.

Nice. Actually, I think Techart makes a set, but they want like 2 grand for them. Not sure what they possibly could be made of to warrant such a price. I heard of another "carbon" set, but they slip over the stock paddles, which seems like a waste of money (MACarbon, I believe).

Who made those for the M3? Most of the aftermarket guys crossover brands.

2 grand? They also sell a piggyback tune for $6,500 that made my friends 991 Turbo S slower than stock at the airstrip.

The paddles on my M3 were $100 installed. I don't recall the vendor name but thx good idea I'll check to see if they have a product for the PDK.

Nice looking paddles! Wish I had some..

$2k..Wow!....I think they are constructed of Ferdinand Porsche's Scapula bones, dipped in Platinum, encrusted with diamobds, and lightly polished with Baby Seal oils...Hana

I have seen them in person and they actually don't seem that hot and much less worth $2k...would be interested in set also, if available.

Apparently the TechArt ones are really a retrofit kit for the push/pull buttons on the PDK wheel and only cost $650. Seem like a bargain compared to these ugly things:http://www.championmotorsport.com/Pr...de=CMS-POR-PDK
