Are there aftermarket PADDLE SHIFTERS?
Man, I test drove a new Mitsubishi Lancer yesterday (for my wife, not me) and it has some SWEET aluminum paddle shifters. Do they make anything sharp and aggressive to replace are wimpy/pansy paddle shifters on the steering wheel?!?! Search brought up nothing so I'm assuming this is going to lead to nowhere. What a shame!

I was actually thinking of the exact thing the other day. Would love to know if there are replacements out there as well.

hmmmm...I need to check out how the paddles are installed on the MINI. Actually, kind of surprised M7 or someone wouldn't try this. *hint* *hint*

The new lancer actually has Magnesium shifters, they are pretty sweet.

The yellow M7 Mini that was at AMVIV this year with a "sequential shifter" setup had some awesome paddle shifters. I doubt they'll make just the paddle shifters though. What a shame...such a cool mod!

The M7 set-up will work on your 04, Today! ( if you get this let Peter know where to send the commission. )
