If you want the accelerator pedal alone (seperately), I can get it. PM me and I will let you know

A bit off topic, but is there a safety or performance advantage to aluminum pedals when compared to the regular rubbery ones?

Wouldn't the regular pedals have more grip?

the aluminum pedals have rubber grip on them....the dots on the pedals are rubber so it does have a nice grip...lol it would be a disaster if it was just aluminum since your foot would just slide off (especially in wet weather)....other than that, its more of looks

lol yeah, I knew the aluminum pedals have small rubber pieces on them, but the regular ones have more grip, right?

And do friends actually give compliments about the aluminum pedals ?

I'm hesitant on buying these pedals, and I'm also trying to justify a reason to get them.

lol, and the problem is, I'm afraid of any potential problems with installing them too. Are there any potential downsides?

I've driven a car for six years with aluminum pedals, in rain and snow, and if I didn't know the car had them I couldn't tell you whether it did or not. I can detect no difference between aluminum pedals with the rubber inserts, or a solid rubber pedal. It's just for show.

The sports pedals look very nice; however, it looks like something is still missing. The emergency break should also have a cover to make the whole thing look nicer.
