Default RC-F shifter paddles

Aluminum shifter paddles from the RC-F.
These were a direct swap. HUGE improvement in look and feel over the stock plastic ones. They are also a bit larger horizontally.

They were about 170 for the pair.

Install is very simple. Once you remove the steering wheel they are just screwed on to the back, 2 screws and one small harness on each. The entire install took less than 30 minutes, including a short drive to make sure I put my steering wheel back on strait because I forgot to mark the spines lol 😧

Same. If I wasn't leasing I would consider this mod, as they do look a bit better than the stock ones - in the stock paddles, you can see the silver metallic paint is, well, paint-like in appearance, where the RC F paddles look smooth and uniform, with no flakes. Very nice!

I believe the shift **** for the RCF is Part #33504-24150-C3 and the boot is 58808-24050-C7.

Subtle but it looks really good! I haven't personally seen the RC-F paddle shifters. Are they made of aluminum?
