😍😍 I love that store and buy a good majority of my accessories there for my Mazda. I can vouch on the validity of that site in case anyone was weary the only concern is sometimes it takes shipping a long time.This is the kit I bought

Parts definitely look genuine as far as I can tell. It looks really discrete. Not like some aftermarket paddle shifters which don’t look oem. Not knocking it, I just want to leave my car looking as stock as possible
Install wasn’t bad.
Took my cx50 on a twisty mountain road and paddle shifters were wonderful! Way better than using the gear shifter to up/downshift.
Very nice! There's also a fair number of CX-5 owners who've added the (official Mazda parts) paddle shifters to their vehicles as the trimline didn't include it. So if anyone else is considering it, it is definitely doable.
I have the PPT so while I have factory paddles, I'm looking at potentially getting extensions. The factory paddles are a bit too recessed/low for me. But, many of the aftermarket extensions appear to extend much further than I prefer. I just want plain black reasonably priced ones to blend in and not the common carbon fiber or brightly colored aluminum versions going for $60 and up.
FYI be sure to get extensions that match the CX-50 paddle profile--there are different profiles within MZD vehicles depending on model and year. It looks like the CX-50 factory paddles are the same as the 2020-2022 3's and CX-30's.

Mikstore sells black paddle shifter extensions, but they are fairly large.
I wanted to keep it as stock looking as possible so I didn’t get extensions.
