I bought one of the first batches of these as well. Yet to test them out but they look very nice and what I would have expected from Porsche.

Are they comfortable to shift with, and do the rest of the buttons on the steering wheel work fine and correctly? Sorry for all of the questions.

Sure you can have the flappy paddle on 958 cayenne. That was confirmed by a TechArt authorised reseller.

hummerchine is infamous around these parts

Just had to interject my opinion here. I read (and watched) all the Panamera reviews before recently purchasing one. Most reviewers complain about the toggle shifters, and most also claim the car is ugly. Personally, I think the toggle shifters totally ROCK, and I also think the car looks HOT. When I went in for a test drive, my first comment to the salesman was how much I liked the shifters and could not imagine why all the negative reviews; of course he agreed. I mean, pull towards you for downshift, push away for up seems perfectly logical to me. My wife has an Audi Q7 with paddle shifters, I've tried them and they confuse the heck out of me. I know it's all personal preference, I vote for the toggle shifters!

Forgot to mention, the Porsche steering wheel with paddle shifters not only does not have the controls on the wheel, but cannot be had heated. My last car was a Nissan Maxima with a heated steering wheel which was so awesome I was only looking at cars with them...which there are not that many.

On page 36 you have the oem sport wheel with shifters, however you really lose all the comfort buttons...
