Yea, I like the pre-recall gas pedals better. The post-recall gas pedals look funny IMO with it's 45 degree edges.
Finding them will be pretty hard due to them being discontinued and the dealer wanting to swap them out everytime they see a pre-recall pedal. I told them to better not touch my pedal lol.

^^ Have you actually compared the two side by side. The pedals are the same length. Only on the post-recall, the bottom corners are tapered 45 degrees. Push the pedal all the way down. It does not even come down near the carpet or mat.
You're rational about not looking at your pedals doesn't make sense. If you have a roof spoiler, do you look at that while driving? Most cosmetic mods you don't even see while driving, but you modded it because you believed it looked nice. IMO the new pedals are ugly. I already have the ECU flashed to the post-recall firmware, I just told them to not touch my pedal. The new firmware I highly recommend. If by some freak nature my pedal got stuck, I can still brake and the gas gets cut off.

For one, there's no legal obligation for you to do a recall on the car...that's why they don't arrest you when you decline the service.
For another, even the Lexus recall notice explicitly states there is no actual problem with cars that use the correct floor mats, correctly secured.
The one and only deadly accident involving stuck floor mats in a Lexus (not an IS either) was when an unsecured, SUV, floormat was thrown into a sedan.
And even then the accident only killed anyone because the driver missed all 3 chances he had to safely stop the car.
(turning it off, using the brakes properly, since brakes>engine, and using that obscure little feature called "neutral")

and the driver was a cop who panicked and didn't use the three options.
Although not many know you must hold in the start button for 3 seconds for the engine to turn off.
I didn't know that.
