Default Another pedal thread. Opinions needed

Ok so heres the deal

I currently have these pedals installed, when i bought i was in love with the pedals themselves and i asked everyone on here what they thought, and everyone hated them. I thought everyone was on crack. Turns out you were all right!!! as much i love the pedals themselves, They really dont suit the IS that much. I wish i bought the Lexus pedals instead. Now im thinking of chaning them. I have 3 options i can go with

one option which was available to me, was to go with the cheaper LZ-305 pedals that i found. ( same company that makes my shifter)

problem is at the store they only have the gas and brake pedals. Im sure i can get them to order the dead pedal as well, or i can order it myself

This is my second option. LZ-505. these kinda remind me of porsche pedals
I like them but not sure how they will turn out on my IS. also dead pedal would be the same problem and i have to order them seperately as they are not available in the store

EDIt: actually no dead pedal available

finally i go the OEM route, and install the sports pedals. However these are not cheap. If i was doing this fmor the start i should have gone this route, since i went DAD, and spent a bit of cash on those im trying to find a cost ffective solution to this. ID rather spend my money on other things right now, such as a roof spoiler, sway bars and ofcourse the headers once those get sorted out.


what should I do?
(im gonna consider peoples opinons more dearly this time as last time you all proved me wrong last time)

I like the OEM look. Although more expensive, you can't really go wrong with OEM. Not really sure what else to say but it just looks right in the photo compared to the other 2.

Go with OEM.
They look the best.
The first pic pedals look like they belong on a Buick.

The 2nd pic looks okay but it looks like it might be slippery when wet, it doesn't have enough rubber sticking out. I have the OEM sport pedals and I like them a lot.
