Question Nicest Aftermarket Pedal Covers?

Hey, i'm looking into buying an aftermarket set of pedal covers. I have a manual transmission, and my pedals look terrible compared to the rest of the car? What do you guys have or suggest that looks good? Thanks!

So you just have the rubber covers? I bought the factory aluminum covers for mine. I think they look the best.

A large percentage of car guys don't realize how much pedal spacing, texture, and movement affect the driving experience.

My base came with the rubber covers and after 2 months with the oem alum units I concluded they were even worse for traction (especially with wet shoes).

I had a custom pedal set made by SRP pedals and could not be happier. The pedals are drill and bolt thru, allowing you to shift the pedal spacing about 1/2" side to side.

I elected for the extra wide gas pedal, coupled with the brake pedal shifted 1/4" to the right, makes heel - toe braking and all around brake to gas pedal transitions a breeze.

I have the Autovation pedals. They look great and they were easy to install. Their website is www.autovation.net

Yeah, I just have the factory rubber. I honestly had no clue nissan even made pedal covers for their cars. I'll have to look into those. Thanks!

Hey Ian what finish did you get them in for best traction even with wet shoes?

I choose the grid pattern on the clutch & brake. I choose no texture but a grooved frame gas pedal and dead pedal. It works excellent with the puma speedcat driving shoes I wear daily / work shoes. Slide very well when going from brake to gas, but very positive grip when applying pressure to the brake and clutch actuation.

See, I'm alittle particular with the holes on the pedals. I don't really like how there are machined holes for looks, but then there are other holes that are for mounting that look like there just set in between all those other holes. That's why I'm leaning towards this pair, that you use any of the holes on the pedal to use.
Here's what i'm leaning towards;


This is an example of the holes I don't like;

I think the first image looks just that much cleaner.

I also use to have a problem heel-toe downshifting with the stock pedals. Until Terrasmak and I did the free.99 uber hard pedal pull. Never had a problem since

Those AVT grid series look very similar to my SRP pedals, just missing the detail of the 3/8" border groove on the dead pedal and gas pedal.
