Not possible without tons of mod work. There is no bolt on conversion for that.

Seems you'll have to choose between release steering wheel or paddle shifters.

Not possible. Get over it.

i think it's doable, but you'd need to make a pretty beefy bracket to mount the paddles to. Also, you'd need to get used to a squeezing action instead of a pulling action of stock

Hi! New here and found this post. Not sure if you ended up finding a solution, if you did please let me know because I’m actually looking into doing this. Found this person on a Facebook group and ended up finding his instagram page. He has pretty much the exact steering wheel setup I want minus the cruise controls but I found a company that makes relocation brackets too. I asked him what he used for the paddle shifters and he directed me to the Worksbell neo paddle shifter hub linked below. I assume you can put a quick release hub with it too, but can’t confirm how long it’ll end up being.

If you end up moving forward with it let me know how it goes. I plan to do it sometime in the future as well.

^^ While that is indeed the solution.

Finding another Works Bell kit for the Fit may be slim pickings since (if I recall correctly) their kit has been discontinued for some time. I had a kit for mine but never installed it and sold it to MSR Houston for a B Spec GD3 they were building.
