    Paddle shifter extensions?

    Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase a set of shifter paddle extensions? I enjoy using the paddles but I'm finding them a little small. TIA.

    Check with PPIDESIGN.COM. OEMPLUS will be making their version soon. Mine are from AUDI TID. They'll take some getting used to. The hand does not fit between paddle and wheel which is OK cuz hands should be at 10 and 2.(My WHEEL) (PPI cf). Mine are the glue on/double stick tape which is an easy install. I am using a med. strength adhesive tape 'till I am sure I really like these--at the track. (Tomorrow-Buttonwillow). Will report. \"/

    Re: Paddle shifter extensions?

    I ended up ordering paddle extensions from TID Styling. Since I don't have a stitch of carbon fiber I went with their brushed aluminum V2 model. I'd post the link but I'm not allowed since I'm still a newbie here. I'll let you know how they work when they arrive and post a picture or two. Ed

    Re: Paddle shifter extensions?

    My cf TID paddle extenstions I purchased from TurboDan are the cats' meow. BUT they are a bit too big. I am going to trim them down a little...Then they will be golden.The TID isn't made specifically for the R8. Fingers get stuck between the extension and wheel. Wiper controll is too close . Turn signal stick too close. After trimming they will be GOLDEN. Will show my ideas soon.
