Default Sport pedals--What do you think?

What do you guys think of these sport pedals? I want to get something different than the OEM sport pedals and I found these. Some of you may know where I found these, but let me know what you think. Obviously, since I own a 350, I would get the auto version of these pedals if I decide to go in this direction.

Nah, I don't like those. Thanks for the picture and suggestion though.

They are similar, but to me the OEM ones look like swiss cheese. Maybe it's just me, but these don't remind me of swiss cheese when I look at them. Also, I don't want the same pedals as most others that have changed theirs.

they both kinda look the same, go with whichever is cheeper

the CF ones are too 'dark', not enough 'look at me' when you show the car.

Personally I prefer OEM (I got those). From that pic it looks like there is a concave section which means less contact between your shoes and those rubber parts. I wonder if it gets slippery when wet. Something to consider.

I prefer OEM ones, but one suggestion if you want to buy aftermarkets.. make sure there is an aftermarket dead pedal too.

These sport pedals are an option for another Toyota made vehicle. I really don't want to say which one because I don't want that to influence anyone's opinion of the pedals itself. They are much cheaper than the IS OEM sport pedals, but are still Toyota made.

I'd go with the OEM ones.

Although, I wouldn't mind those sparco ones, I think they look pretty nice.
