you have a few options. From the pictures, it seems like you already have a sport wheel but no paddles right? So you CAN make paddle cutouts on that wheel and but the paddles. I forgot who sells the paddles, I just picked up a set from him too . Anyways you can do that OR buy a new wheel with paddle cutouts or with paddles already. And since you dont have stock paddles to begin with, you'll need to buy burger motorsport's retrofit kit, should be like $150 or something? but dont quote me

Don't buy LCI paddles. The M3 above are great and the guy is legit.

You will need to buy two screws to attach paddles.. P/N and guide below.

2. Get a wheel that you like with cutouts, M3, Mtech or performance. Look in the used for sale section for deals.


3. Get a retrofit cable from Burger Tuning - $150.


Good deal:

Lets say you have the sport wheel then just cut out your own back and buy paddles. Its fun for a little bit but gets boring, unlike your lambo with the e gear.lol
i wish i could find an airbag for 200-250
