looking to change the paddles on my L99 - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I like the hurst shifter's but to each their own.

Let's you shift from any hand position.

Hey guys, sorry I didn't respond earlier I am in the shop powdercoating. Here is a link to the shifters.It's a bit long but there are quite a few pics of different color options. I never corrected it but the first few pics in the thread was of the prototype so go further in the thread to see them as there were some refinements. I may be a little slow responding tonight but will get back to anyone interested.

For some reason I cannot attach a link but if you do a search and type in "new pistol grip shifter with tap shift" you will see it

Here a picture of mine after it was installed .. I highly recommend it over the steering wheel tap shift buttons.

FYI...I have real paddles on my Honda, and they are not much better than the buttons on the Camaro. Still hard to use when doing anything but going straight. I think the buttons on the shifter would be just the trick.

Gorilla Glue some paint stirrers to your tap-shifters.

Those look ok.

I like the size of these.

The 12's have actual paddles from the factory. You should be able to retrofit.

I have these as well. I use them quite a bit but they do block the column stalk to some degree but not enough to make me regret my decision. I will say that these are Delrin (plastic) so there is some flex to them compared to the aluminum version. I also think the look great!

rdblan2 · 12-17-2011, 10:04 AM

That tap shift on the shifter should be a required mod.
