Default Techart PDK Paddles

Has anybody here ordered Techart PDK paddles? The price seems steep at US$800 for just the plain silver ones... but I'm wondering if anybody here ordered them or tried them? What are they like quality wise?

Yes, but if you have a heated multi-function wheel you lose those features, right? The Techart option lets you keep those conveniences...

They are cool on a MFSW. Leave it to Porsche to not offer paddles and radio buttons on the steering wheel (in the Macan) until 10 years after the GTI.

That's exactly the issue... if you buy a new sport steering wheel with paddles you loose all the radio/phone/pcm controls.

And you can't even install that wheel on a 997 and have all the functions work!

Not to mention it would look goofy in a 997.
