New Product Agency Power Paddle Shifter Extensions
Agency Power’s Paddle Shifters are a must for every vehicle that has flappy paddles on the steering wheel! Why, because stock is boring and you need to have better control of your shifts no matter where your hands are. The manual transmission is slowly fading away and in its place are Formula1 inspired dual clutch gear boxes that shifter faster than you can think. For most, you put it in Drive and just let the car handle the gear changes. But for those that want to bang through the gears, the vehicles manual mode is where it is at. Smacking the up or down paddles to change gears gives an exhilarating feeling. But not every driver is going straight or has their hands on 9 and 3 o’clock. For those that are handling the track and its vicious curves, you need to be able to grab a gear at all times. The Agency Power Paddle Shifter Extensions allow this to become a reality. Designed for easy installation as an add-on piece to your factory unit, the extensions usually add 1-2 inches on the top and bottom of the factory paddle shifter. They attach with provided double sided tape or some utilize a small set screw for a secure fit. Designed from billet aluminum or cast aluminum, each left and right paddle shifter is engineered to be ergonomically correct to enhance your driving experience. Agency Power has not only created a functioning product, but has taken the individuality of the aftermarket world by providing our paddles in different colors. The paddles are done in a unique Cerakote finish which is durable like powdercoat, but soft and will not fade like anodizing. Each paddle features a laser engraved AP logo and a distinct and – sign. If you are looking to improve your Grip and Shift, then the Agency Power Paddle Shifter Extension are ready for your vehicle! Fitment:

While I personally don't like the add-on approach to this vs replacing the stock units all-together, my main concern is with heat and the double-sided tape. Have you tested for this case?
After coming back to a hot car that's been sitting in the sun, won't the extensions fall off pretty easily? The pressure that is applied when using the extensions is almost always on the top end, thereby creating an uneven force that would lend itself to the tape coming undone after baking in the sun?

No thank you. so silly to have them just stick on top and be so obvious that they don't belong. Looks like you would pick these up at autozone next to the fart cans and after glow under carriage lighting kits. At least some of the other "stick on" brands attempt to conform around the paddles a bit more as to not look so glaringly obvious. Maybe a black color would help hide it better. But no thank you. I bet these are super expensive too.
