That's a cool idea. Did you designed the 3d printed section yourself or find it somewhere?

No, I purchased it off a guy I found on ebay that makes these for SIM racing setups. Electronically it worked well - simple 2 wire ground circuit switch inside the paddle base that I rewired into the horn wiring. I'm going to do the same on the other side for high-beam lighting off the flash circuit but I'll retain the normal stalk wiring for normal high-beam use.
Car is done at least to the point I can start attending a few events to test and begin the process of setup and suspension tuning. Only other modification I performed was replacing the front brake setup with a custom Wilwood caliper + stock rotor combo using a 6-piston caliper and stock e46 m3 rotors. There's a bit of meat left where the caliper pad isn't covering the entire rotor, but had I used 2-piece rotors, that wouldn't have been the case. Its the difference between a $45 rotor vs $200 rotor so I'm going to see how they wear and make some decisions once I see how they wear. Since I'll be using it primarily for track it'll be a high wear item anyway so suspect I'll be replacing them often enough the wear pattern isn't an issue.
