Titanium shift paddles?

Am trying to see if I remember correctly but it seems like I remember the 2007 Fit Sport auto had titanium paddle shifters.
The 2015 Fit CVT has paddle shifters but they're a awful plastic. Soooo........
A swap might be a good upgrade. I still have the standard steering wheel and could order one to see if the mounting points are the same.... Then if the plugs are the same it would be perfect....

I'm interested in updates to this... I really REALLY dislike how the paddle shifters feel. Thin, cheap, and insubstantial.
Worst case, I know a few machinists who owe me some favors, but something stock would be much easier!

Definitely not real Ti.

This is a $15k econobox we're talking about.

I have titanium color plastic paddles in my 2010 Fit- it matches the plastic titanium elsewhere on the dash & radio knobs---Can't imagine real titanium in the Fit

The paddles in the 2015 feel much more high-quality than the paddles in my 2008 IMO.

But that isn't saying much. In both cars, its just cheap plastic.

Yeah... The factory paddles are plastic for sure. The only alternative to the OEM Sport/EX/EX-L paddles is to do the Works Bell paddle shift kit for aftermarket steering wheels BUT it costs a pretty penny, is discontinued if I remember right, and has no known confirmation on compatibility with GE8 or GK5 Fits.

Works Bell Paddle Shifter NEO Universal - The Tuners Group

here is an idea for those who want an upgrade but I believe they are discontinued.

carbon fiber but no titanium.

No harm, no foul. I forgot the actual model name anyway... fortunately you linked it.
