I like these pedals more than the factory ones, and the passenger footrest might look cool.

Those pedals dont look that great either. I spent far less and I got some nice heel-toe pedals from Razo. You can adjust the corners of the pedals to make it easier to heel toe. I love em!

yeah Im not seeing the attraction. pedals arent real in your face anyway; so one silver pedal wont look different from another, so if it doesnt change something as far as the feel. its a waste for me.

Shoot for that much, I'd hope that it gave foot massages too...

But really, the stock aluminum pedals are enough for me as well.

No f'n Way.

There's nothing special about them.

Go to autozone and buy some fancy schmancy pedals for $10. (They are cheap, but look good enough to put your damned feet on.) In 5 years when they wear out, buy another set for $10. There you go....10 years worth of pedals that are "good enough" for $20.

Or if you can buy them and that $75K platinum shift **** that someone posted a week or 2 ago. Then you'd be ballin hard core. Icy hot stunta style bro...don't forget the 20" rims and mirror tints.

I'm not sure how you arrived at over $300, unless you add engraving to all the pedals, and get our flanged driver footrest.

The other manufacturer does not include engraving, does not offer a flat or flanged footrest, and uses a different type of anti-slip than our pedals, raised edges around the countersunk holes only, versus our box pattern which covers the entire pedal (very similar to a very coarse bastard file).

Closeup of our anti-slip pattern:



We are happy to offer a group buy if there is enough interest.

The discount would depend on the number of orders we receive:

5-10 orders 25%
11-20 order 30%
over 20 orders 35%

If you ordered four pedals (gas, brake, parking brake, and driver footrest) in our most expensive finish, frosted anti-slip, the price would be $241 before the discount and $156.65 after the discount.

Our shiny anti-slip finish would be $221 before the discount and $143.65 after the discount.

You can also just get the anti-slip finish on the brake and smooth on all the other pedals, which would further reduce the price.

We can also offer a heel toe gas pedal, door sills, and a flanged footrest that wraps around the right side for $10 extra.

Our anti-slip finish is machined into the entire pedal surface and provides grip second to none, wet or dry guaranteed.

If you don't agree simply send the pedals back and we will gladly refund the cost of the pedals.

We initially looked at producing pedals with rubber inserts and decided not to for a couple of reasons:

1) Rubber is slippery when wet
2) The rubber dots wear out very quickly and leave you with a smooth pedal.

Finally, our pedals are an exact match for the original pedals. We add 1/8" all around to ensure the pedals completely cover the stock pedals (the other manufacturer does not appear to be an exact match especially on the gas pedal).

Our goal is to produce a product that looks like it came from the original manufacturer or better.

We pride ourselves in total customer satisfaction knowing that the most discriminating of automobile owners select our products for its superior quality.

On closer examiniation of the two products you will realize that we are not compairing apples to apples.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Those project M ones dont even look like pedals, they look like armor for a battle tank or something....the box finish on those aftermarket pedals look pretty cool, i bet they shimmer like diamond cut on a motorcycles engine too :P :P


This is a great thread to ask this as well....



HELP HELP HELP!!! I have a base, didnt come with chrome pedals higher models came with, I ordered the foot rest, clutch, brake, and gas, have them all on except gas. I have no idea how to get the stock gas pedal off!!! I have been rolling around with chrome pedals, and a crusty black gas, rofl....

I have sqeezed myself in the car, and barely get my head underneath the brake to see a little behind the gas, but cant figure out how to remove it! I tried pulling, sliding up/down, pulling/twisting, how the hell do you get it off!! I really appreciate the help! Thanks!

hey Rob, how does the footrest attach? The stock footrest has broken on me (stripped) at least 3 times now and the stereo installer recently ripped it out and of course its stripped again (Uggh!). I dunno if you are familiar with the stock design but I might be interested in the footrest if it wont end up stripped again!

I like the heel/toe option pedals also. Look like nice prodcuts to me.

Thanks.

Hi Rob...I'm in for a GB. I have a base model and have been upgrading my interior.

I arrived at $300 after adding most of your products to my cart with the "shiny anti-slip finish."

I appreciate the details in our car, (such as the aluminum accents) and think these pedals would complete the interior.

Anyone else.....lets try to get 5 buyers!

Sorry for not responding sooner.

Hi 35ounces,

We provide stainless steel self tapping screws to attach the footrest.

You can use any of the countersunk holes to attach the footrest.

Non of our 350Z customers have reported back about the screws not holding.

Please let me know if this is unclear or if you have any other questions.

Hi S two K,

Thank you for your kind words.

When you mentioned pedals in your subject, I assumed you meant just the gas brake, clutch, and footrest which would cost $186 in our shiny anti-slip finish.

I now see that you also added a passenger footrest which would bring the total to $300.

Sorry, my mistake.

Please note that the passenger footrest measures 6" x 9" and is the same as the footrest that comes in the Ferrari 360, the Enzo, and the Porsche GT.

Hi atar,

The photos in our instructions are from a Ferrari, but the procedure is the same for most cars.

Sorry, I don't have experience with the factory aluminum pedals, but it appears that they are actually bent around the original which may require a special tool so you don't scratch or nick the aluminum when you install it.
