Are these pedals the kind that just kind of clip on?

If so...

Pro: Only $10.

Cons: $10 pedals slip off while you're driving, causing thousands of dollars in damage to your car.

IMO, save up for some decent pedals. I've been thinking of getting some Sparco Grip pedals...

They require some drilling, but bolt on for a nice secure fit. Hey, while you're at it, you can get a co-driver's footrest!

Duct tape might work too...eh, no. Kids, don't try this at home.

In general, you get what you pay for. The results of a brake pedal slipping off could be catastrophic. I wouldn't mess with it. For $10 they probably look like **** too.

i have those cheap clip on pedals... and i've had them on there for 5 months now.. and the way that i slamm on the brakes and gas... they haven't budged yet.. considering i used my 18v drill to secure them the first time.. but i think i'm gonna take them off.. they seem to be a wall with my foor and the pedal.. i don't get the feel i like... and in order to drive the car right.. you have to be able to feel how the car is responding.. pedals don't seem to help for me but then again thats just my opinion
