Has anyone with a tiptronic trans changed to a steering wheel with paddle shifters with good results?

My first recommendation is to call Ivan at DCT Motorsports.
www.dctms.com
He has and outstanding OEM quality product, that can be customized to any interior color. He also does re-wraps and extra padding on original steering wheels for both Tip and 6spds.
Next choice would be Gert at Carnewal. Gert also has a stellar reputation for quality products at reasonable prices. Disadvantage is Gert is located in Europe so shipping is an issue both time and cost.
You would not go wrong with either vendor choice for a flappy paddle Tippy conversion.

I have the DCT Motorsports paddle shift steering wheel that Mikey - quick968 mentioned. I'd never go back to the original 996TT tiptronic steering wheel. The DCTMS wheel is perfect, right hand side shifting up, and left hand side shifting down. Doesn't do much for shifting up, but for shifting down, it's brilliant. It just makes me want to put the gear lever in manual. Way better than the original. The grip is a tad thicker, which is good. The material of the shifter paddle itself feels good on the fingers, high quality. Looks original, just thicker grip and straight bottom. I've looked at other steering wheels online, I just like this design.
You also get to use your existing airbag and cover. You can also choose alcantara, leather, carbon, colors... Tailor-made product.

I have the RAID paddle shifting steering wheel in Carbon/Leather combination. Got it from Gert at Carnewal. Only took the mechanic less than an hour to install. I'm extremely happy with the product and support from Gert.
