I got the Vitesse Paddle Shifters for my 2010 camaro...Can't wait for them to get in. I hate paddle shifting with the buttons it drives me nuts! if anyone's interested they are on sale on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/251146923230...84.m1497.l2649

I understand that those work very well.. GM changed there design on the 2013's.

NEVRL8 · 02-05-2013, 06:56 AM

I had them on my 2011. They work great and look great! However, before I bought them I had read that they had sharp edges on them. Sure enough when I got mine the edges were kinda sharp. I never cut my fingers but I did cut my knee getting in when I had shorts on. If your steering wheel is not straight when you get in and your 6ft or taller it's easy to hit your right knee on them. They did work much better than the buttons though.

All you need now is a trans tune if you don't have one, if not it's like putting perfume on a pig.

The vittesse paddles are awesome. Ever since getting them, manual mode paddle shifting has been my primary mode of shifting.

They have different ones for the 2012-13. Same look, but modified connection for the new style

Yup, they are awesome (#5 here), but they were a little sharp, but nothing that a little swipe with a nail file can't take care of.

OP, congrats they are fantastic, and super easy to install. One tip, make sure the wheel is straight ahead when getting out of the car, but in case you forget you'll only need to jab yourself in the leg once when exiting, afterwards you'll never forget.

No tune is needed for these paddles.
