Can you list what parts you need exactly.
Awesome, seems like its 30 min job, plug and play

Go to the parts department... you need the paddles (comes as a set of 2) and the covers. The non-sport cover is 2 pieces (top and bottom) with the leather sleeve. The sport cover is 4 pieces (top, bottom and sides) and doesn't come with the sleeve.
You transplant the joystick from the current cover to the new one, and the wiring is already there for the paddles. The only thing you should need is a couple of nuts to secure the paddles to the bolts that are already there. Literally, if you're BLIND you can do this yourself.
You need a couple of tools to take the wheel off, but otherwise this is literally a 10 minute job. 30 minutes if it's your first time, probably.

But when you take the wheel off you can see that there are 4 wire looms, 2 on each side (for all the switches in the wheel, the wiper stalks, etc). One of them is a 2-prong connector that clips right to the paddle.
You put everything back together and you're done.

first the paddles, PN. 25549-jk000 list $177.52 (these are black, wheat is 25549-jk10a & there $155.52 list)
then the sport cover PN. 48470-jk70a list $57.48
that's it, the paddles will mount up on the stock inners no problem & the plugs are taped into the harness in the column, plug them in & done, it goes in like it was made for it, ah, that's because it was made for it
thanks viguera for posting those shots... the sport cover has both sides as removable covers so everything fits togeather with very minimal openings for the paddles
one thing I should mention is that there will be a few screws that you will also need in addition to the existing hardware, the paddles themself mount up with 1 nut each, regular 10mm nuts, 6mm thread. then there are the 2 rear screws to mount the paddles, I used 2 10mm bolts, 6mm thread for this too, but it screws into a plastic grommet & they probably use a course thread type screw there instead, but the 6mm thread bolt works fine. then you'l need 2 more course thread phillips screws to secure the cover in place, the non sport no paddle setup uses 2 screws from the front but the sport uses 4, so you will need to find 2 more matching screws... this is all pretty common hardware & shouldn't be much problems for anyone, just a heads up
good luck with it, this is such an easy mod for the 07+ crowd that it'd be a shame NOT to do it
