Hello Everyone
I would like to share with you my experience of replacing the paddle shifters. I was hesitant initially paying 400+ dollars to get 2 pieces of paddle shifters for my leased car. I was looking for other cheaper options and i didnt want extenders because they look cheap.
Them one day i looked on ebay and found carbon fiber paddle shifters from china shipped for 130 dollars. I was hesitant initially given dono the quality and the huge difference in price compared to autotecknic ones.
I pulled the trigger and decided to try the one from china for 130 $and i am surprised how good and solid and high quality those paddle shifter felt. They work flawlessly. I Ordered them on jan 28 got them today and just installed them and went for a drive. It is night and day compared to the OEM ones.
