LCI paddle shifter switch on Pre LCI steering wheel

Vancouver_M440 · 04-03-2019, 11:41 PM

I've been on the fence about upgrading my pre LCI steering wheel to the new LCI wheel. Most due to cost of getting the wheel and then the airbag. I'm overall pretty happy with the feel of the old wheel though I'm not sure I'm liking the paddles so much. I like the LCI paddle shape more. Does anyone know if I can retrofit the new LCI paddles on the older wheel?

Actually I did more digging and the paddle I'm looking at is from the M4 or M3. It's the thinner longer paddles. Would those fit?

I'm interested in doing the same. Interested in how this works out for you.

I also noticed that IND has some aftermarket paddles ($295) not as cheap as the LCI paddles, but they look quality. I really don't like the Pre-LCI paddles. They feel like they belong in a Civic SI.
