Installed the Jogon paddle shifters from China

I decided to order the Jogon extended paddle shifters from China for my i8 and try them out. I was thoroughly impressed because they feel good in the hand, look good and give me the ability to shift from different hand positions on the wheel. I recorded the install in case I loved them, and decided to upload the video after driving with them for a week. If you are ever interested in doing something like this, feel free to check it out. I'm not sponsored or receiving any kickback.

I'm about to purchase an i8 and have been looking into doing these. For a $150k car, the little silver plastic paddles are a little out of place. Thanks!

My technical ability can get me up to the 04:11min mark. After that I'm in trouble.

Thanks for posting....

Nice job & nice video.

But removing the air bag part exceeds my comfort zone, so it's not for me.

I do like the mod though.

I felt quite anxious removing that air bag as this was the first time I've ever done that after working on my own cars for decades. De-energizing is key to prevent accidental discharge, but it's still very nerve wracking. I don't blame you for not trying this.
