Installed the paddles on Friday and I couldn't be happier! They match the gloss black trim that accompanies the aluminum carbon structure dark interior. Looks more like OEM+ now which is what I'm going for. Even for having large hands I felt like the paddles were not a comfortable size and distance from my finger tips, and these feel just right.

As for the installation, I had the hardest time finding the airbag spring on each side... Like VERY hard. It took 1.5-2 hours before almost giving up. I tried using a T25, T27, and hex key with no luck. Then I switched to the flat head provided in the trunk toolkit. Pulled it out of the handle so I had a long skinny piece to work with. Within 5-10 minutes with the flat head I found the spring on the left side. Same results on the right side. Do yourself a favor and use the flat head for God's sake.
