for those of you on CU2 Squad on Facebook we were discussing this last night.... a buddy of mine found these on ebay... who wants to go first and post results?

 

$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

 

$55 seems fair..

 

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

 

And just when I thought I was done with the mods....

 

Ebay be like: "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MOAR!!!

 

I bought a set for the heck of it.
I'll post it up when they come in

 

A review of the same product on another forum:

Paddle Shifter extensions. - Jaguar F-Type Forums

http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f-...ifters-144368/

 

i got them
they don't fit

opening is too large for the paddle

 

hmm....what year is your TSX?

 

13

 

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.

 

i can do that
will you make me a set?

 

 

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

 

See if you can get these distances marked in red
i see you got the overall length but its kind of covered. is it 7 inches?

 

Top part fits



Bottom doesn't

 

From the top to the first mark is 3 inches, the bottom measurement is worthless as the opening is too large.
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

 

iCrap would it be possible to have them be applied via adhesive vs. screws? (seems like screws would scratch the actual paddle)

 

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

 

got an ebay message today to send them back, they say they made new ones for me

 

<p>The new ones look cooler</p>

 

<p>Agreed. Old ones are pretty ugly imo</p>

 

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?

 

cnc'd aluminum
and anodized I believe

not sure what they did

This was the message sent to me

Hello,thanks for your time,we have the new item can be fitted for your vehicle original paddle.This list item can be fitted for the 2015 year vehicle,but we think your spioior is 2009-2013,so our factory have new item,we can resend you the new pair,could you please send them back?We will leave u the new USPS tracking number ASAP,thanks you very much for your help.Regards!!

 

lol i love chinese Ebay Engrish

 

<p>Don't hate on my blood family trying to earn a dollar! Lol.</p>

 

<p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>More like 10cents hahaha</p>

 

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

 

<p>No one comes to this side anyways... what's&nbsp;an Admin?</p>

 

nobody comes here so lets break the rules

just giving a heads up, Ron A sees everything.

 

oh well maybe i'll just post the file up and people can make their own once i get it done

 

so when are you supposed to get the "new" paddles in Kostan?

 

they asked to send the new ones back which I'm mailing out today

They provided a new tracking# but it doesn't work last time I checked
*edit* now shows processed through ems china as of today

 

<p>Wonder how they will know you sent the other ones back...actually Im surprised they even asked for it back</p>
