E-mailed the company... I see some nice bolt on ones... Seems like you can just screw them in your current buttons. Which would be great. Anyone know how to take off the steering wheel? LOL. I need to get to the Back of it to drill =p

I found a website which sells in the states... For those interested in knowing how these will look/fit on our Camaros, feel free to check here often. I just e-mailed the company in the states for some dimensions and specs. The Paddleshifters are made for Audi/VW. So I have to probably modify some parts of the paddles, ex: shave down some parts. Also, I'm also thinking ahead here... since these paddles are actually COVERS for existing button/paddles I wouldn't have to take OUT the current buttons.

However, mounting the paddles on will be the problem. I am thinking of maybe DRILL and bolt... OR super crazy 3M or Silicone. Not sure yet. Incase I drill, anyone know how to take off the steering wheel?

But they made one helluva car and we all have out little preferences, hopefully someone comes out with something similar to the image above.. someone mentioned hurst possibly?
This to me is the ideal setup. I make the tap shift work, but I always thought having it in the same location as the manual would be the better way to go.

Yeah that's why I never did anything when I found that website. They looked really cool and thought I could get them to work, but the price. That was a little steep for me, I was hoping some company here would come out with something similar.

That's what I'd be interested in.
Shouldn't be too difficult. intercept the harness between the trans and the steering wheel and reroute to the console and design a different shifter.
Hopefully Hurst or B&M will come up with something.
