Anyone here able to get racing pedals for their Versa?My pedals seems to slip too much, that compounded with my carpet slipping (my dealer still doesn't have the Versa mats with the hook in), is making things quite difficult sometimes, especially in the rain.

want to know what's the best mod you can do? get durable coarse sand paper and tape it on the pedal

there are a lot of aluminum pedals on ebay, they will slip more

I've purchased "racing" pedals in the past, but only for aesthetics. Real racing pedal are bare metal pedals will holes drilled through them to cut down on unnecessary weight. In the real world, most time, these are a waste of money. Racers don't have to deal with stepping on wet pavement and getting into the car. Your feet get wet and you put it on this metal surface and your feet will slip more than the stock pedal. If you're going to buy some, make sure you buy the ones with the non slip rubber pads. The slipons are everywhere on ebay for cheap. You could always mock up some yourself. I haven't seen any true replacements yet.

i am debating about their new serious or going with competition TI/sport. because i like the color and the fact you can adjust the petal a little to give you better heal toe. :p

But ya alot of the petal arent the same, some of the ebay one with the same design i would never use. i Used to sell petals like that and when you compare them to the razo trust me there is a different. But sparco and momo are nice to but pricey.

their blue GT spec looks like it would match the versa's color exactly perfect

i would prob choose the comp sport because it more color that doesnt class with teh car. the TI are like a light blue.
