Default need help, again, this time, AFTERMARKET PADDLE SHIFTERS?

looking for aftermarket paddle shifters to test on this SC430 Project until the manual goes in. Might forego the manual if i like the look at feel and ease of use of this matched with the turbo...
HOWEVER, every kit i see is developed for aftermarket steering wheels, which i do not want to change out. I like our steering look and feel, so i was looking to see if anyone has done their homework or do mine for me and help me find a kit i can retrofit for this car....

any suggestions?
thanks

Yes, they do have one for the SC430.
In order to use the peddle shifter kit, it is my understanding that you need to have an 06+ that has the Six-Speed Sequential-Shift Automatic Transmission.

i vaguely remember someone buying an 06+ transmission and trying to drop it in an 02. if i remember right, he ran into issues like needing a different rear end. i don't think he ever got it to work.

I've added paddles to my 03 FX35 from the G35 conversion paddles but it was a semi-automatic and six speed, same tranny/steering wheel and set up.

Honestly I don't think it can be done on a 02-05. Would be GREAT! That and cooled seats are the two luxury items that are hardest to add to the SC.
