I've been looking to get some paddle shifter replacements, and honestly all of the options I really don't like. Theres a ton of vendors on ebay selling the same stick on ones, I'm not a fan of them at all. Has anyone on here actually tried to mod the stock ones? Are they pretty similar in constructions to other cars? I wonder how hard it would be to take a stock one apart and retrofit something like a GT-R style paddle shifter to it.

I think the best option would be to try out the new LC500 paddle shifters. I don't know if they would fit but would love to find out.
can someone get the part numbers for LC500 paddle shifters???

Here's some close ups of the OEM paddle shifter. The paddle is attached by a hollow roll pin.

I wished the paddles were solid brushed aluminum with a nice solid "cold" touch to them. I don't think carbon fiber(like the GTR ones) does it for me, they would still be flimsy to touch.

I did, much easier to shift with hands in the 10-2 positions.

Didn't see your original reply since I just searched again on the subject, thanks for the links on those. Are the replacement ones you got taller? I see some CF extensions, but they are listed for the NX200t/300H/IS/RC. Any ideas if those are the same stock paddles that a GS uses?

are they hard to replace?

It involves taking off the wheel. I just took it off last week when I was replacing my wheel, and I'm a noob. It was pretty straight forward, there are 2 screws on each, for 1 screw you have to lift the back cover.
