at least TRY to paint the + and - before you drop $300 on paddles. testors paint... any color you want... $4. hell make it 7 or $8 and clear coat them!

edit: in short, get some model paint, fill in the plus/minus, and wipe excess gently with a paper towel dampened with thinner.

Correct me if I'm wrong (as I don't have access to my car at the moment)......

....but aren't the +/- on the stock (non F) paddles PAINTED/decal/whatever. I don't recall them having the indent like the F paddles do.


therefore, the suggestion of filling them in would be darn near impossible. Good suggestion though.

^ not sure, never paid attention actually. I just figured they were indented... but if they arent i guess a stencil in in order.
