Paddle shifter upgrade

Anyone know where I can purchased upgraded paddle shifters? I've done a quick search here and online and found nothing. I just want them to be larger. Thanks.

You'll have to design your own if you want bigger.

Check ebay item # 111931643057. They can probably do them in piano black or any other finish.

Cost an arm and a leg but that is what you are looking for.

After paddle shifting for a while in my Vantage - sometimes I reach for the 'paddles' in my Mustang and the windshield washers spray my windows instead of shifting.

Going from the Sportshift (I manually upshift, but let the car downshift automatically) Aston to my manual Mustang, I don't reach for the clutch but sometimes forget to downshift coming to a stop resulting in an embarrassing sputter or stall.

LOL I still find myself jabbing at the left footwell sometimes, when I go to start my non-manual cars.
