Anyone know of a paddle shifter for the 6l80e trucks?

Yeah ONLY reason I would do this is because it is functional as I go through the gears when I run and it will keep both hands on the wheel. I really don't like to change much aesthetics wise but think they could be pretty cool. Also there not all fast and the furious huge or flashy, they are the right size and think they would maintain that factory look.
I got the part number for them:
1712670046 $104.40 for both

Have you guys ever driven any of the paddle shifted 6L80 vehicles? They shift too slow to even be fun. There is a 1/2 second+ delay from when you hit the shifter, to when it actually shifts. There is a legitimate reason why it is like this, but none the less, it still stinks. GM did updat the programming on the 2012 vettes (possibly camaros) to speed it up a little.

Hmm well I know the clockspring has a few open circuits that go through it like the heated steering wheel circuit. Maybe I can just use that as I dont have a heated steering wheel? The buttons on the shifter are still wired so imagine is just uses a 12v input from the + or - to let the trans or whatever it goes to know that I want to shift it up or down. Im not trying to bypass the manual function or anything like that. Just going from a button switch on the shifter to a steering wheel mounted shift button.
Im gonna try and see if I can go to the dealer and get a wiring diagram of the shifter and see what wires go to the paddle buttons on it. If I can just find those and see what voltage they run at then should be a pretty straight forward little mod.
