Latest Mod...Paddle Shift
Paddleshift steering wheel. Wiring is easy. Right now it is somewhat rigged but works fine. I am going to re-wire and take some pictures. I want to make the wire harness look as close to OEM as I can. I think I know how I am going to do it but need a few connectors. Anyway..here is a pic. I will also post some pics of the completed wire harness when I am done. Many thanks to Rob_ for getting the parts I need.

Looks great!
I wish I could do all the mods yoy guys are doing but don't have the time (we have a 5 years old boy who is taking all my time) nor will the CEO let me...we got a huge end of the year vacation back to the motherland, and trust it's not cheap...

How fast are the responses from the flick of a paddle?

Despite what others have said...it feels about the same as shifting in sport mode. I did not do this upgrade for performance. I did it strictly for the cool factor. Plus..I think it looks good too..

If you don't mind me asking, how much did this run you aproximately?

I think it looks great. Job well done, and kudos to you for DIY.

That's what I thought.
None the less, it's still a 10/10 mod in my books.

Got any shots from other angles at high resolutions? Artsy stuff?
