$55 fucking lol.
I tried to 3d model these at at point so i could 3d print something but i eventually gave up since i couldn't make something that would easily clip on.

i mean, i wouldn't mind trying them out.... im going to lose my mind over $55....i can always return them....but.... these look pretty neat...and according to Chris Bantay on CU2 Squad the spirior and tsx have same paddles...these have set screws that hold them in place.....made of aluminum....seem legit? i dont like the red though.... i would probably go black or grey to keep with the color of the interior

i mean.... if i can spend $55 bucks so it feels like im pulling on some F430 paddles.... im down..... having driven a F430...its nice...except one big thing... the F430 paddles are on the colum and static....not attached to the wheel like the tsx and spins with it

That's better because you can shift while turning! Static is no bueno when you have your hands at the right position and turning.

i have to disagree...i like the way the paddles were in the F430...cause if you are turning the wheel on a sharp turn you arms will cross if paddles are on wheel... but that's just my opinion

If anyone gets them, post up some detailed pics please (w/ measurements if you can)
I can clone them in CAD and probably 3d print some which would fit perfectly.

If i get them fitting well I can print them for everyone for super cheap, yeah
Those pics are helpfull, but can you get some measurements of the part which fits around the paddle of the car, and also some pics of it fitted onto the car. That'll help a lot

You will have to get the measurement from the oem paddle, maybe make a mold of it or get a spare
total length is 7 inches

Ok, that's enough for me to get started anyways. I can get the rest off the paddle on my car

It is but then there would be sticky residue when you take it off. It's a tradeoff i suppose.
but yeah, the 3m adhesive tape should work fine

those new ones do look cool, i wonder...did the Ebay seller update all their paddles to his "new" model that "works" ??? or are they still selling the one's that dont fit?

those new ones look like a total redesign. What were they made of btw? CNCed out of metal? injection molded plastic?

neato, new ones look sweet
oh yeah, just a word of advice, careful trying to "make" stuff or provide "services" to acurazine members without a Vendor license. They take it very serious here and Ron A or Astro will take action
