REALLY REALLY. Like it's an hour or 1.5 job. I did it because I track the car, and it's on its way to becoming my track car. That, and the fun factor increased 2 points with the paddles alone. I would suggest you do everything else performance-wise that you want to do before you put the paddles in. But I like speed and power more than looks.

Considering we like what we like and want what we want, this is not to discourage anyone or attempt to change anyone's mind -not that I could, but I've noticed something lately.
Not to mention, even after the Infiniti dealership service technician - who really knows his sh** BTW%$ - told me he could easily install the Bell Works Paddle Kit, I still have lost interest in paddle shifters...........unexpectedly. (Not a very good DIY guy, for the most part.)
Why? 'Cause dude had just reversed the 5AT manumatic console shifter to:
PULL - Upshift
PUSH - Downshift
Took all of 20 minutes, maybe 30...........his first such mod (I've an 06 Coupe. )
At a cost that is not even worth mentioning, though worthy of mention is that he said he found another way to reverse direction w/out flipping wires.
I am totally shocked at how much better, more intuitive, more fun, and how content (TRANSLATION..........HAPPY!!) I am with this relatively minor mod.
No sooner than thought I'd extracted every bit of driving excitement with STOCK HP & TORQUE, minus losing some weight via Seibon carbon fiber hood & front fenders.
It is big fun. Oh my God!!
Conducive to going even faster.....like I really needed more encouragement. And I don't know how the hell people daily-drive supercars, or anything 450-500 HP+ (not that I couldn't get used to it......so don't get it twisted, homes).
But even with my little-bitty 280HP/270 LB FT, it seems slightly annoying not being able to lay the hammer down from block to block.
Does that make me a lightweight w/less than 300 HP? (Shut up. dude. You, too, sister.)
I can kick back in my seat, forearm on armrest, palm/fingers just under the leather ****, and lay the frickin power down harder and smoother.
Keep the revs nice & high in 2nd or 3rd gear - about 3000 - and wait for a chance to accelerate hard & upshift.
Damn the gas mileage, wake me when it's $8.00/gallon, and no more excessive 4-3 downshifts to get a blast. Mostly, just a couple downshifts (4-3-2) as a sorta brake assist 'fore I apply brakes; never downshift into 1st.)
And I'm not talking about abusing our transmissions - fast, not hard driving.
Anyway, I could go on all afternoon. I just can't wait to drive that mother-shutchyomouth later on today.
Next move? Have a local shop fabricate me a 6-8" dog leg extension to raise the **** (figuratively speaking) to mid-wheel level.
I AM STOKED!!!!
