Where are the DCT paddles from? Is there enough room to grip the wheel without the paddles getting in the way? I bought the EAS paddles and removed them less than 24 hours later because there was no place for your fingers and I don't even have big fingers.

Nearly bought extended paddles till I read some reports that there isn't enough room between the paddles and steering wheel.

I'm in the same boat only I haven't removed mine. It's not an issue if you like to drive with your hands are at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions but if I drive at 9 and 3 then they touch my fingers (and I have slender fingers). You can forget using gloves at the 9 and 3 spots.

I installed the same paddles today as the OP but in gunmetal and there is a big difference between these and the EAS ones that I installed and removed in less than a day. I can fit my fingers between the wheel and paddles now so I can wrap my hands around the wheel at 10/2 or 9/3. I absolutely couldn't do that with the EAS paddles. I only drove it a short time after the install so I will post more tomorrow or the next day after some more driving.
Maybe if I get inspired I will put one EAS one on and one of these and take some pictures. I am very good at replacing them now and did this in my building driveway sitting in the driver's seat in under 30 minutes. |

I have the turner extended paddles. Great pieces but I can vouch that the space is limited for your fingers. I typically only use the paddles on the track though so the tradeoff is fine by me.
