some more mods just done !!!!

this weekend, I finally got around to:
1. replacing the fog lights and parking and license plate bulbs (all the bulbs now match with the same color !!!
2. replacing the crappy floor mats with premium infiniti ones...these are super plush and much thicker!!
3. installing paddle shift kit...(thanks to Rick@riverside Infiniti)

my car is a 2011 journey blue slate/stone










next I will be wrapping the paddles in 3m Di-noc in the dark pewter color so it matches !!!!!!!

thanks for looking!

the install is super easy...it took me like 30 minutes.....no need to remove the steering wheel...here's the write up:
DIY: Installing Sport paddles - G35Driver

I dont have navi. I believe all coupes and sedans come prewired.

order them from rick@riverside infiniti...great price and great people

Are the paddles functional or just for looks?

they control the shifting so I guess they are functional but overall I think paddles on a G are kinda gimmicky but they do look good.

What parts of that tutorial can be left out if you didn't remove the wheel?

How much did you pay for the parts?

What you do is turn the steering wheel until you see the 2 little tabs to the left and right...POP them off and unscrew the 2 screws.....everything else is the same as the write up.

Parts were $255 shipped

Excellent, thank you!

Are there parts other than just the paddles themselves? i.e. do you change any of the plastic cladding?

I definitely intend to do this. I'm picking up my 2009 X Coupe today.

Sorry for all the questions...

What tools did you need for the paddle swap process? Did you need anything special because of the tight fit with leaving the wheel on?

Are there any aftermarket paddles that will fit the G Coupe? I think the current paddles are not extended far out enough

$255 shipped included the paddles themselves plus all the stone colored trim pieces (4 of them) plus screws and nuts

Super easy install !!!!
