Default Installed The New Ultimate Pedals W/pics

Well I must say for the price of $169.00 for the set of three pedals they are much better quality then the SPARCO pedals that I bought a month ago for $80.00. Here are some pics of the install not quite finished yet still have to do some trimming around the edges.

looks good, does it just go over the old pedals or do you remove the old ones? what do the pedals do? they just for looks? do they come in different colors? on some pedals, i've heard when you install them, they have some back piece that prevents the pedal from going all the way to the floor? don't know if that's clear or not.. lol good pics though

So you have to trim the metal backing of the gas pedal? How hard is that to do? I have looked at those pedals, and they look very nice, but for the price, you think they would cover the pedals without having to trim anything.

Just look at the gas pedal I just need to trim the Black around the pedal with a Dremal that's all should be pretty easy

The pedals look great... I like the foot brake..Nice Touch... It really completes the full set unlike just having the Gas and Brake cover... Nice job...

theres a place that sells the dead pedal that matches that as well.. IMHO though..$170 for some damn screw ontop pedals is too much coin for not nearly enough improved look or performance...but...as i always say; to each his own! good luck with your ride man this one set i saw which is not so bad and is still only about $100 with shipping included and includes all FOUR pedals including the dead pedal were pretty decent:



this guy sells them on ebay all the time, he has some sets listed up now actually.... i think for the price they look alot better than those ultimate pedals sets, with more parts included, and how much better/different can they be? they're pedals, metal and rubber that you screw over your old ones...
