Colored rev match paddles?

Just noticed they're doing this on the new C7 grand sport...thoughts? I'm sort of flip flopping on this one.

I have seen replacement paddles, the work required to strip down the column seems crazy.
Not worth it, (to me) maybe if it was a simple swap.
Also you don't really use the rev match paddles like you would say on a ZL1 10 speed auto.
Inwould consider it if the paddles were used constantly.

Yeah I saw one guy that got rid of them because he kept hitting them by accident. The paddles that I saw were actually colored rev match paddles on the grandsport. I saw yellow and orange-ish/red.

I wouldn't bother doing it but thought they would start adding them to the Camaro as well.

The paddles are only color matched to the Red or Yellow stitching:

(36S) Yellow stitching and (38S) Red stitching now include color stitching on shift paddles
They are not colored matched to anything else or any other color.

So, they're invisible from the factory? That's a real trick.

I'm seriously considering cutting down the size of mine... the bottom edges come down near the volume controls... and once select rev match on I don't really need to touch to them anymore

I know that the GM parts guy, has them on his website, I've flirted with the idea on replacing mine with them, then again, I really have nothing besides my "SS" shifter and dash needles that are red. hmmm maybe I should upgrade to the red seatbelts as well??
