    Looks awesome. I added the carbonio paddles a few months ago and they are fantastic. Where did you pick up the wheel? Macarbon?

    Looks amazing. I was just looking at these online. Carbonio, do you give a discount to Fchatters? I bought my 360 specifically for tracking and this looks like a perfect upgrade so that I don't have to transition my hands as much while shifting.

    F-Chat discounts are always available. All it takes is a PM and we will send you a discount code for our website.

    As for the paddles, while they are great on the track, don't underestimate their value on the road too. The paddles absolutely transform the driving experience allowing for much better access to the shifters regardless of driving position. The following video should help illustrate this:

    Quick story. My wife had her 430 out for a drive one Sunday afternoon. After a couple hours, she comes back and says, "You know, it's sometimes hard to find the paddles to downshift when you're in a pretty hard curve at speed". I didn't ask any questions. Carbonio shift paddles promptly ordered and installed. Very happy with them and the service from Frank.

    I'm jealous. It looks so good!

    I have the full tan treatment on the front dash / steering wheel (not super common). I don't think I have ever seen a tan steering wheel with the carbon top and bottom.

    The Carbonio paddles are excellent quality and look incredible. Shifting is way easier. Just remember that the left paddles are very close to the turn signal and it is easy to accidentally downshift while trying to use blinker! Ask me how I know... This is on the 360, I assume 430 is similar.

    I received my shipment of Carbonio extended paddles for my 360. They look gorgeous and I can't wait to install them this weekend and try them out on my Sunday morning drive.

    Makes me nervous when people shift during hard corners at speed - hopefully she's doing it on the exit. I think of it as "if I can't reach it because of the turn I should just leave it alone until I can".

    It's awesome when your spouse is into cars too isn't it?
