So, I have always been unhappy with the factory paddle shifters. I use them all the time but was never really happy. Too small. No real feedback.

TTried the extensions. But again they didn't really add to the driving experience.

Came across these on Ali express and took a punt. I love them. Highly recommended.

Great review! I've been looking for a set of paddles for my Mach 1 as I too use them all the time... Do you have a link? Will they work for 18+?
Thanks

I'm also interested in the link for them. Also, do you have any pictures from the backside of the steering wheel? Curious to see how well they fill out the factory location.

I may have to make this swap on my wife's 2015 V6. I use the paddles all the time when I drive it. Now I just need to figure out how to use them in my 2003 auto swapped Cobra and still make them look factory mounted.

Thank you for posting this!

Didn't realize they were marketing them specifically for 15-21 Mustangs as well. Thank you for finding the link!

The house is made of metal and the quality looks great. Been using them and have had zero hiccups. The back of the steering wheels is fully covered as per stock offerings.

Do you find it’s easier to shift when making a turn from a stop using these larger paddles?
Thats when I find it hardest

Lol thanks. I appreciate the props. There is actually a wealth of knowledge with regards to doing modification on my channel and they show all the difficulties and ease. Hopefully it helps people out. I'm going to start branching out into more cars and maybe some no nonsense reviewss. Let's see.

So there is certainly more area for you to be hit the paddle from but the nature of the design with steering mounted shifters means it's always a bit challenging to change gears. Steering column mounted designs are better for this but the theory is you shouldn't be down shifting or up shifting when turning hard which would unsettle the car.

For everyday driving, this eases the pain but it's still there.

I'll say the same, the video is good! I actually subscribed to your channel after watching it the first time lol. I look forward to watching your other mod videos you have.
