ebay sport pedals

[mikedamageinc]

I found threads on the G forums but not on here so I figured I would post in case anyone else is interested in getting sport pedals for a fraction of the price, and much easier install. I didn't take any pics since they do look just like the sellers ad and they swap on literally in less than a minute. The gas pedal fits right over the factory one and the factory brake cover gets removed and slide this one right in its place and bam, sport pedals for $20 bucks shipped. It took about three weeks for mine to be delivered on the east coast though.

Interesting...might have to consider this little cosmetic mod. Does it feel any better?

My only problem with these is that I am 6'3" and these would result in me losing 1/4 - 1/2 an inch of leg room. Not much but I need it all.

For anyone that is not a walking tree these should work fine.

The brake pedal is the same. The throttle loses a little but I like it because I thought the brake was a little high up in comparison and this brings them a little closer together. I was going to adjust the brake pedal but now I might wait and see if this is enough.

Looks nice enough. Are they plastic? Might be why they're so cheap? The real ones are brushed aluminum.

It's real aluminum, I'm sure Chinese aluminum is cheaper than US plastic!

I added them to my 07 and have a new set for my 09 which I haven't installed yet. There are photos in the link under my sig. Look in the 07 M35 album. They have a snug feel under your feet due to rubber buttons protruding from the aluminum. They give a great sporty look to the car.

I am also 6' 3" and I didn't notice any difference with the set I bought from EBay. After you remove the existing rubber covers, these just screw on to the expose bare metal. No actual loss of leg room. However, I reckon the cover for the gas pedal (no rubber trim to remove) it might add maybe .5 cm / .2 inches of thickness. I really didn't notice it though.
