it sounds cheaper and easier to just move up a model instead of getting a base and adding paddles.

that's just me though.

next project: installing the LED sidemarkers under the Z emblem on the side quarter panel, since the newer base models don't come with it

Whoa -- nice! Great work!

My humble suggestion for the next mod:

AT Shifter Mod: Reverse the Up/Down Shift Directions

I find I prefer the paddles for upshifting in general and for straight line acceleration, but prefer the gear stick (after this mod) for downshifting and driving into corners. I found it takes the shifter from being redundant with the paddles to a great second option.

Reversing the up/down makes it much more much more intuitive (i.e, "grabbing a gear" to go faster and "pushing away" to brake).

Thanks! Awesome suggestion, I'll definitely add to the list
