This way you can try it and see if you like the whole paddle shift/button concept... imo i dont like it, its useless, i absolutly hate the feeling of the paddle shifts and using them... Just looks cool. rofl
As far as being cheap..
why even bother doing paddle shift mod, why didnt you buy car with it to begin with... why do people do, m6 bumper upgrades, steering wheels, clusters, wheels, when they shouldve bought a m6 instead... cheap? perhaps its questionable i say... or is it being different? individuality? hmm

No, the kit is over $350. Steering wheel is separate, of course.
I have the illuminated M6 shifter/M6 steering wheel and the relevant interfaces for like $2000 (well at thhe time ?1>$2) so ?1000 inc all shipping and OEM parts.
Bigger win
Tbal stop making me want 22" wheels
in my City I buckle my 20" BBS all the time I may have to move to Canada

I've been considering a retrofit HUD myself; just not too thrilled with cutting holes in my dashboard...
Ask your dealer, because mine told me you could reprogram the car after installation of parts.
Nope. There's nothing available on it that I've seen (I've searched a few sites). I did see an eBay seller who had a brand, new one, roughly $3k.
That said, it seems a possibility.

I think we could ask him if he tried this retrofit.
