Good question, but since I never use the cruise control, I haven't thought about doing that. Update me if you plan to do that.

I haven't seen it posted on any of the threads about this. They said it should be fairly simple.

It's your opinion, but roughtly 900 bux is a steal for paddle shifters for a car that didn't come with them from the factory. I don't know how much your opinion is worth concerning this considering you wanted to put a completely non functional hood scoop on your car and have spent tons of other money on car stereo crap.

It wasn't that much. For the kit and hub for your steering wheel (not including the steering wheel) it was roughly 700 bucks shipped.

If that guy in the video doesn't learn how to handle a steering wheel (crossed arms/wrists), he's gonna wreck that Z w/ the paddle shifters.
WAAAAY early on these boards, we were advised that limitations were most probably those of the driver, and not those of the car. Paddle shifters are no substitute for skill, even if they look cool.

pretty cool.. shifts fast enough for me to have fun with IMO. I would get it but there's not enough bang for your buck. And I hate driving with two hands on the steering wheel unless i'm really driving the **** out of her.
