Default Paddle shifter

I have a 4l80e in my truck and am wondering how a paddle shifter would work.

Any experience, or ideas, or opinions, or referral source, links etc would be appreciated.

Happy T-giving!! Thanks, Jim

Only downside is you loose your stock steering wheel and airbag, so you'll have to disable the entire system.
Wish they made one to adapt for use with the stock steering wheels.

I read somewhere that this was in the works and soon to be released. Can't remember where I saw it or who was doing it but I'm sure I did see it. Spring might see it on the market?

I'm waiting... but I DO like some of the aftermarket wheels and the visualized presence in my cab.
