Anyone have these yet? I've been wanting some extensions since I got my .2 but up until now hadn't found any besides the carbon fiber versions

Looks terrible.

Good luck if you get them.

 

yeah that doesn't look too great honestly.

 

Any other suggestions?
I hate how small the paddles are stock, I find myself searching for them which sucks

Thanks, but no CF extensions, they look goofy IMO since they're clearly add ons not matching the silver paddles. Also the price is just silly

 

Agency Power makes some that aren't CF. I bought the CF versions but not sure if I want to use them anymore. It blocks the ACC controls/stock and the size looks a little bit odd to me now that I am able to see it in person.

 

Yep those suncoast extensions are fugly. Would not even take them if they were giving out for free.

 

Can we all admit the paddles are better on the #1 cars?

(just kidding)

Interesting that a debate as polarizing as PDK vs manual and 3.8 vs 3.0tt is should the paddles be attached to the wheel(like on Porsche) or the steering column (like ferrari). I don't know that Porsche will change but I'd much rather have them stationary and a larger(better) design. Some say that stationary paddles add confusion if the wheel isn't at 12 o'clock but I say you shouldn't be shifting if you're turning.

Thoughts?

 

I've never had any issues with Porsche paddles. I find the 991.1 sport paddles to be perfectly fine. I have driven Ferraris and Porsches on the track, and I prefer the Porsche design. I haven't yet driven a 991.2, but the paddles seem quite small. I've heard good things about the improvements in the paddle switch in .2 cars though, with a shorter "throw".

 

My previous car was a Maserati with the fixed paddle design, and I far prefer those!

 

I like the small, std ones. If you keep your hands in the standard 3 and 9 oclock positions, they are in the right place for your fingers to use while on the wheel.

A nice thing about the PDK is that it has smooth shifting and you can shift in corners while tracking you car. It will do it for you in corners if you are not doing it yourself. If you are shifting yourself while turning, it is better to have the shifters move with your hands on the wheel.

 

Ive been driving PDK cars on the track since September 2008. I have never thought I needed bigger PDK paddles...ever.

I do not see how paddles this large could improve anything.

I can see how large paddles would get in the way since on Porsches the paddles follow the steering wheel.

 

I do find the 991.1 paddle throw to be a bit long. Shifts happen much faster with the actual gear shift lever. One way around that is to get the new steering wheels of course, but is there a cheaper way?
