Default watcha think ????(pedals)

Hey im bout to pull the trigger on either of these pedals covers
First one is:
Garsons DAD pedals
pros: look real luxurious,
cons: expensive ($162),(pictured below)

Second set are these cheap pedal covers (30$)
pros: cheap, and i get the stainless steel pedal look
cons: Cheap looking


Basically do you think its worth it to get the DAD ones ? or since they are pedals im better off with crappy pedal covers

pedal covers look like a crappier version of this but with no foot rest, just the accelarator and brake pedal:

I think you are better off with the OEM sport pedals seeing both sets now. I would do that and some sort of silver/aluminum trim would look good with the shift ***!

Hah, they do look like Buick Roadmaster pedals from circa 1991 (LOL)!!! The OEM Sport Pedals are the best IMO.

go w/ OEM sports pedals, definitely.

edit: seeing as to how you're not considering OEM pedals, drop a few bucks more and get some authentic razo pedals. don't be cheap and get some OBX crap...

The 2nd set looks like cheap fleabay products. It will be a down-grade if you install it.

Garson is a bit too luxury for a 2is in my opinion. Nice but not my type. Get Garson if you are hooked on it. I recommend just get o/e sports set. I don't think Garson is pure Made-in-Japan any more.

I got JDM cancer.
