Big shoutout to @phantasticphan

Bought his black set of extended paddles a few days ago. They arrived today and I installed them when I got home.

Regarding the install:

This should take no more than 15 minutes total.

I'd like to clear up a few questions again regarding installation.

1) The steering wheel does NOT need to be removed. Just push in the two airbag retaining springs and set it atop the wheel. You don't have to disconnect it either. The wires are long enough. Since this is the case you also do NOT have to disconnect the battery.

2) The steering wheel trim does NOT need to be removed.

3) Do NOT lose the ball bearing.

4) All paddles click the same as Phantasticphan mentioned. The paddle itself has absolutely nothing to do with the "click". If anyone thinks it does, take a closer looks at the assembly. You could put a thin piece of wood in the hole and the clicking sensation would feel the same.

5) The difference is immediate. Being able to grab the paddle down low (4&8 o'clock is a nice thing if your cruising)
