Works Bell paddle shifter

I wanna know if the Works Bell paddle shifter really worth it ?

People that actually have or tried them... Is it worth the money? Cause it's pricey!

I tought the paddles where actually following the steering wheel (turning with it)!

I was going to buy but when I saw that they don't, I started wondering....

I just want opinions of people that have tried them!

Thanks!

I have them and use them daily. By far one of my favorite mods.

Did you do the install yourself? Is it hard?

I just installed one, there are two versions, the one that I installed rotated with the wheel. I believe that version is discontinued tho. It is a very cool mod for an AT.

Yes, I did the install and no, they're not hard to install.

I saw the 2 versions.. The paddle shifter NEO (I think this is the one that rotate with the wheels) and the Column shifter Z33/G35... The NEO seem less expensive!

GreenGoblin: Do you know the model and product number of the one you just installed ?

Thanks a lot guys!

FYI, the NEO setup requires you to use an aftermarket steering wheel.

i dont think i could use paddles that turn with the wheel.. that seems silly. it's nice to always have "up" in the right hand and "down" in the left hand. no confusion as to which paddle is which while turning.

they were pretty easy to install. if you are 5at but still enjoy driving they are a must have. i love them!

Ho! It's good to know for the NEO setup.. I want to keep my steering wheel!

You're right Sammy. The more I think of it, it's better to have them fix!

Anybody know if there's a way to make the 07+ kit fit a 06 ??

Since this is related to these paddle shifters I'll ask here:

Anyone know why this isn't compatible with telescoping steering? And is there a way around it? Thanks for any help!
