Let me start off by saying that these paddle shifters are exactly what I had expected. They are truly outstanding and believe me, I was very skeptical about purchasing them (since I realized that it was double sided tape and did not know if they were sturdy enough). However, I was able to install them last week and went on a cruise with some of my friends at Mt. Hamilton in San Jose, CA (lots of twists and turns) and let me say, they performed phenomenally! I was able to shift up and down during the sharp turns without any complication. From the pictures, they seem kind of small but they are actually pretty long. I have included some pictures of the paddle shifters installed (make sure you use some alcohol wipes to clean off the OEM shifters before installation, for I had a hard time installing them since the double sided tape did not stick well enough. But after cleaning them, they stuck on well). The pictures I have included show the 3 different positions in which I personally use while driving and in all of these positions, they do not fall off whatsoever. Vento, amazing job bro! A must buy for all who has DSG!
