Do you literally mean just the paddles?

theres that, a bit pricey for what it is, but if thats what you're looking for then it works.

As far as only paddles, i have no clue.

I would like to replace my existing ones with something nicer looking. I HATE the stock cheap grey plastic paddles. They are almost as bad looking as the emergency brake handle.

I'd like them in flat black... they really do stick out like a sore thumb.

Wow, those CF paddles look great! Has anyone else taken their stock paddles out to refinish them like that? Even plasti-dip or something would look better than the stock grey paddles in an otherwise dark interior.
