Oh, I had no idea these were out for our car! Could you direct me to where they can be purchased?

I am planing on maching a set for my beast, unless the ones available are what I'm looking for.

Thanks

2 small torx screws at the bottom. 1 each. Couldn't be easier. Just be careful to not lose the spring. Turn opposite lock for each one. Search paddle by my screen name. If you can't find it I will when I get home. At the swingset park w/my daughter and she needs someone to push her!

Pix below (green led switch on the steering column is the laser jammer switch, which was why I originally took these, so sorry for the out of focus on the paddles).

I has searching for a very long time:
The only ones I found were carbon fiber from 2003 made by Sportec for $700.
I have emailed them several times with null replies.

Then out of the blue, Stephencl finds 5 pairs of aluminum and they were gone quickly...

Do you know if he still frequents this site?

No reply from him as yet... :rolleyes:

Well...not entirely out of the blue...

On a separate post where someone else was looking for paddles, I posted the website of the manufacturer from which I had purchased mine.;)
Edit: I think I actually pm'd him instead, since he was looking for paddles and since he had gone out of his way to hook me up with a cf front lip spoiler previously... didn't want to post the website until he at least had a chance to get them. Stephen's super cool and what happened to his car was the worst news on this site all year...
IIRC, when he contacted them, they weren't making them anymore so I think he bought the remaining ones for a final gb, some of which were seconds/minor blems, then distributed them.

Best bet at this point would be to keep talking sweetly to JSRS6...

I am looking for good luck here. I would really like a set of paddles like spidercat has. Like spidercat, I contacted the maufacturer of spidercats paddles direct, dominic at MAD racing and his email response was as below. Anyone have any suggestions?

regards,
johnk

Hello John,
No one has stepped up for a special production run; I sold all my existing stock to Stephen on the forums. It was my understanding that he would handle distribution on the paddles to forum members. I have no more stock available. Sorry.
Best,
Dominic
