Are there any videos on DIY paddle shifter installations? Considering the small mod as my next.

And on that note, anyone have any recos on paddle shifters they love?

I installed these:

They're pretty great. The install is a bit involved:

The battery is under the trunk carpeting, you gotta use a pry tool to lift up the floor then you can access it. Might just want to take it to a dealer/shop to get it installed.

It's easy man. Just need a long skinny flat blade to pop the air bag free. Then unclip it (don't need to remove the air bag but always recommended). Then it's two T20 screws to release the paddles. Unclip their blue electrical clip. Install new ones. Attach air bag.

Done.
