paddle shifters sourced
did anyone else catch in the latest issue of Excellance - May 2010 - the letter regarding retrofit paddle shifters on a PDK vehicle?
the letter part mentions that Champion motor sports has an option where they can take the multi function PDK steering wheel and install black or aluminum shift paddles.
i checked their site - www.championmotorsport.com but could not find anything for the 2009 model years. i suspect the site just needs an upload of new info?
anyway - that will be my 1st option if i cut a deal on the PTT i am looking at right now. keeping the stock multi fucntion steering wheel is a little more important in these cars as it gives a lot of control over the instrument dial info screen - really a must to use properly.
so keeping the stock multi function AND getting paddle shifters would be perfect imo!!

Know what you mean about the multi-function bit!
Sadly with the 911TT the paddles are only available as a leather option - option 840 that is. Don't know why there are not just standard equipment with PDK and also available as options in Aluminum and Carbonfiber. I don't have my magazines next to me right now but another manufacturer makes an aftermarket set of paddles.

think the champion paddles are $1500 and expect at least another $500 install. too much $ for a sedan
