Paddle Shifters/Installed

I installed the paddle shifters on my '07 G35X and even with taking the steering wheel off it only took about 30 minutes... It was a piece of cake! It looks like it came from the factory this way... They are a lot more fun to drive with then the shifter... I thank you guys for the help... And Grubbs Infiniti for the kit.

It cost me $240 plus $13 shipping... When you press either + or - it goes right to manual mode for about 20 seconds...then it will go back to automatic. You do not have to do anything with the shifter ****. It really was easy to instal. No programming or other changes to the car and it really looks like the car came with it factory.

I dont have any pictures of the project and to be honest it would have taken me longer to get the camera and do pictures then it took me to do the whole project... I can take a picture of the finished project but I think you guys know what that looks like. The kit comes with everything you need and you really do not need the top trim piece...

Still one of my favorite mods.
Congrats on taking the plunge to do the install yourself. It really is a very easy installation.

Today I checked infinitipartsusa.com, if I'm not mistaken, it is selling for around $220ish + shipping (from Arizona). I think this is the cheapest I found.

Move your shfter lever to DS mode (to the left). Once you shift with the paddles, the transmission should stay in M mode.
