Aliexpress shift paddles?

Those look kind of pricey considering their stuck work tape, no?

And jeez, you might see them in a few months, if ever. I have ordered a few things from eBay lately. Never again. Stuff never arrived!

Have you checked out the Leyo Motorsport paddle extensions?

Lol...well...they are carbon. The double sided tape should hold fine...its not like I'll be using that much pressure to press the paddle shifter.

Maybe you just have some bad luck with orders from China? I've received everything I've ever ordered...from $1.50 USB-C cables to my current mobile device. I got my mobile in two days by DHL.

I'll see how these turn out...if I don't like them...no huge loss. I'll take a good look at the Leyo.

I like the Leyo paddle extensions, for the price. The grey I chose patches the trim on the steering wheel.

Had the Pinalloy grub screw type previously. They marked up the plastic stock paddles and didn’t work well at the bottom due to the shape of them.

Sorry and I meant that my AliExpress orders sometimes do not ever show up. I said eBay earlier. But I think it’s just a low priced item coming from China issue.

Dunno. I've made $5 orders from AliExpress. They've always showed up.

As long as these extensions fit flush and secure...I'll be a happy camper. They Leyos do look pretty good. What I didn't like about some of the extensions is that they are long and skinny.

Got the paddles on. They seem to be pretty good. They are held on by double sided tape. The fit feels pretty secure. Looks like they'll work for what I want them for... which is to extend out a bit further than stock. Leverage feels good except for the bottom... doesn't look like it extends down far enough.

Looks good! Blends in well. The bottom part of the paddle looks useless though. Can you even shift with the bottom part?

The leverage at the bottom of the paddles aren't that great. There isn't much extending downwards. I tried shifting the paddles from top to bottom and the least amount of effort is at the very top. The 10 and 2 position. I don't find myself trying to shift the car from the lower portion of the steering wheel very often.

I ordered a pair from Ali months back and got it like 3 weeks later. They are exactly the same as usp sells for like 50 or 60 and I believe I paid 10 bucks. I've never had a problem with Ali. Shipping can be long but that's expected. I might order a pair of these though, I am a carbon fiend...
