I loved the idea, but the only products available are +$200. While looking for a different option, I came across paddle shifter "extensions" that are made for a variety of cars. Single-piece machined aluminum and many different style-options. I came across a set that unscrews from the molded mount and also matches the appearance of my steering wheel. I designed and 3D printed a set of adapters to mount them and they worked perfectly. At the same time, I also did the "F1" wiring mod, so the paddles shift according to the markings on the paddles. The Paddles/Fitment:The paddle shifter extensions I used are for a Volkswagen Golf GTI MK5/6. I thought these were the best size, feel, and deal. Available on Amazon and eBay. These will fit any 2006 - 2013 Corvette C6 and will work with any aftermarket steering wheel as long as the OEM paddle shifters are still usable. -You will need to buy your own paddles!

Check my partnered-product at Modifiedvettes.com/product/c6-paddle-shifter-extensions - Why just the adapters and no paddles?Some Vette owners wanted to experiment with different styles of paddles rather than just the ones that come with the kit. So I made them available separately for the DIYers out there. There are a variety of different paddles out there that possibly be used with my adapters, with modification. The only requirement is that the paddle is relatively flat and removable from the molded part/mount. Bear in mind that these are made for the paddles I listed above so I will not guarantee anything for using different ones. Installation:The install is very straightforward and shouldn't take you more than an hour. Here are the basic steps involved. Note you will have to remove the airbag and disassemble the paddle assembly to do this. 1: Pop out and remove the steering wheel airbag.2: Disconnect and unscrew the paddle-shift switch assemblies.3: Remove the three cover screws and pull off the cover.4: Pry out the lever assembly from the post mounts using a flat head and unscrew the paddle.5: Install these adapters and reassemble. The paddles themselves are screwed into the adapters using the screws they came with.6. (NOTE) on the left driver side paddle assembly, if it doesn't seem to spring back or "click" when you shift, then the main hex bolt that holds the paddle assembly on the wheel is too tight and it is hitting the bolt when you pull it. I don't know why this only happens on the left side only, but it does. Unscrew the bolt approximately two full turns and test it. It will not be loose on in the unit. If you haven't already, be sure to do the "F1" wiring mod as well so the paddles shift according to the markings on the paddles. There's a great write-up available that can be found online by searching "corvette c6 F1 paddle mod". Very straightforward. Just swapping a pin in the right paddle harness.
