Check out Hobi's site. You have to get a M steering wheel or an SMG steering wheel. It can be done with Steptronic becuase he did it first with his car. He is a quick thinker and very good with a soldering iron. It works and looks great. Decide a place to meet on May 15th and I will show you.

[/quote]Since kigerka's car was already an SMG, I'm thinking they won't notice since SMG's are rare to begin with. They'll see paddles and they'll see an SMG car and won't think that the paddles are not "normal."
Now if you pulled in with a steptronic with paddles, I imagine they'd notice that pretty quickly...
