So when do yours come out then? Oh wait.... :thumbdown:

There's only so much you can do if the OEM shifting mechanism wont support it, period. It's simply physics/leverage issues. The farther away from the pivot you are the harder it is to push and/or it wont even activate. Then they're useless to have.
Who told you I was coming out with them-->:paddle:

Really...physics/leverage-->Thanks Captain Obvious.

Thats a very stupid attitude... youre upset theyre trying make a working product instead of a good looking paddle that doesnt work? And then you say you dont want junk in your car?
Look at the pictures they posted, do they look anything like carbon or Ferrari style?-->:crazy:

If you're not interested... The door is over there.

These guys have shown they want a worthy product, it takes time.
I'm interested!

The one vendor that is researching and designing what the masses want, and Husker you're going to be a Dbag about it. I for one am glad there is trial and error, we all don't want another DD switchback incident, keep up the good work Vodoo.
I agree, but-->"bigger and made from carbon, Ferrari style"

It's called prototyping. You don't make prototypes out of the most expensive materials available, prototypes aren't the final product. If you were really in the game, you'd know this.
I know you're probably just trolling, but simmer down a bit. :thumbsup:

My fingers are crossed you come up with a quality functioning product...I know the process associated with an Idea to Reality.

I'll go to a corner for a time-out.

... Yeah so the prototypes looked good to me. Thanks for making sure the final product comes out functional. If they don't work, no one's going to give a shit how "Ferrari" they look.

The prototypes look really good, and honestly anything longer than the stock paddle shifters are an improvement. Count me in for these!

The point was instead of bitching and complaining and talking crap about someone trying to help the community, let's see you do better then.

Otherwise if you have nothing constructive to add then dont buy them and leave the thread.

Two issues that need to be addressed.
1. They wiggle a bit. This is because the hole for the attachment pin is slightly too large. A decrease in diameter should solve this problem.

2. They don't activate the higher you go. I think this is because of the contact placement and size. A slight length decrease at the top portion should solve this issue.

3. Paddles needs to be bent a bit more to follow the contour of the steering wheel better.
Decreasing the length is disturbing...Please find the Problem & Solution-->:doh:

YES, you must follow the contour, equal spacing from the wheel is important.

bitching and complaining and talking crap-->:shrug:

This is Bitching & Complaining?:"Please find the Problem & Solution" + Agreeing with the statement: "YES, you must follow the contour, equal spacing from the wheel is important."...From here it all went south and I probably crossed a line-->:confused:

If it's B&C, then I'm sorry.

I'm still not understanding what part of "prototype" people don't understand? This is the first draft, for crying out loud... [emoji58]
