Default Extended length carbon fiber paddles

I was looking around for aluminum paddles for my Ftype and came across these on ebay. They look pretty sweet and from what I understand these paddles should work on an F-Type.

Just a heads up in case anyone else is interested. Too pricey for me, but would complete the look for someone who has the black/red interior and uses paddles a lot. The extra length would be great too

I'm having some aluminum ones designed right now, which won't be ready for a while, but those look decent. A bit on the skinny side, but not bad in the quality department.

Oh nice, will you or the person manufacturing it be selling them? Would love to see photos of a prototype!

Hmmm.... They're about the same length above the wheel spoke as the JLR alloy items. They need to double that to be worth the price...

I'd be selling them. We're currently working on the design/prototype which will be 3D printed plastic before I get the molds done for aluminum. I'm
Thinking about anodized aluminum in a few colors.

Oh nice! I'd be very interested in the aluminum ones. What sort of timeframe are you thinking right now?

Hoping to have the prototype done in the next few months. Then a little testing, and production. So maybe early summer?
