Default Paddle Shifter kit

I saw doing some searching, and came across this site. I was going to build my own but then thought about going with an aftermarket steering wheel and paddle shifter. Does anyone know of a USA site to order something like this?

There are plenty of mail order bride places.

Looks like a neat option but nothing that I would go for.

For me i like having the paddles, on the wheel. I just wished nissan put it on the car. I did start a prototype but just havent gotten around it. When i was researching i found that site with paddle shifter on a 350z

it's around $400 for the paddle shifter + you need the hub adapter kit as well as an aftermarket steering wheel

I'm assuming this only works on 5AT models? I'm also assuming its basically like relocating the tiptronic shifter to the steering column? It would have to be for that cheap. I can't see the shifter in that image due to her ****-ish wave.

Check out the size of the lower part of the console that surrounds the shifter. It's definitely an auto.

Remember if you get rid of the air bag you have to change the seat belts also.

why do you need to change the seat belts? they have a air bag delete connector if you remove the airbag.

The seat belts that come on cars with air bags are different than the ones that are designed to be used by themselves. I believe that they stretch more. They look the same, don't be fooled, it could cost you.

This looks tight. Although for some reason I think I'd still be more comfortable shifting the auto the regular way, but I'm still interested.
