Default Gearshift paddles in red?

Today I called the dealer to inquire into the cost of the anodized silver gearshift paddles...I was a bit shocked that they were more than my chrome bonnet Louvers! So I'm thinking "naaaah"

But alas, then they indicated availability in "red" and my interior is red!

Does anyone know if this is the same red as the leather or is it perhaps a darker red like the Italian Red exterior?? Dealer was unable to answer the question

Anodized aluminum red is pretty much a universal color. They all look the same:

I'm shocked at the cost!

Is that by chance a RHD version of the paddles? ARen't ours + on the right and - on the left?

I am working on new aluminum paddles similar to these which will be available in a variety of colors. I cannot finalize a price point yet, but the whole idea is to be a significantly cheaper option than these units. I'm hoping to have them out by the summer.
