Here are som pics of the Paddle install. Please not my car was a non e-shift model so i had to wire them directly to the ecu. The whole mod took rooughly 2 hours and was a piece of cake.

I will be doing this mod in a couple of weeks. I know my steering wheel has the plugs in there from when I removed my e-shifr wheel. Seems like the most challenging part would be fabricating some mounting brackets for the paddles.

The brackets where easy mate. The metal is about and inch and a half long and 3/4 high. I just bent it with a hammer and vice they took me roughly 8 minutes to make

Very impressive. It would probably take me 2 months just to take out the headlights

Congrats on your swap but i need to correct you home slice you just did 62.14 mph in 4.9 seconds, remember your cluster is in kmh and 180 kmh equals 111.85 mph. Oh you might be putting done with your mods 278-305 to the ground.
