Default Ebay Sport Pedals

Took 2 hours to install. Could have been done quicker but I took a few breaks due to the Texas heat.

I was looking at OEM pedals but wasn't a huge fan of how they looked (and the lack of a replacement parking break to complete the set). These have been around for a while but they're ridiculous cheap now on eBay.

Link for those who are interested:

Definitely looks aftermarket.

By the way, there is an "OEM" e-brake "sport" cover :

Oh yeah, there is no question about these being aftermarket.

Personally, I'm a bigger fan of how these look. The fact that they're $26 shipped for a set vs $200 for a whole set of OEM is just a side bonus.

So they screw into existing holes?

Do you find them slippery if your shoes are wet?

They look too busy for some reason. Pretty cheap though.

Looked okay in the first pic, but on the car, I do not like how they look.

Glad my car came with stock aluminum pedals On my TSX and my Mustang I had to put pedals sport pedals on.

Haven't had a chance to really test them in strong rains, but it did drizzle this evening (Good thing I didn't wash my car after the installation) and felt fine. Based on what I read from others that had the same set on their GS/SC430 it hasn't been an issue. The rubber has real solid grips.

Also, you have to drill the holes yourself. Brake and Parking pedals directly into the metal once the rubbers are removed. Straight into the rubber for the gas pedal and footrest.

Relatively sharp corners compared to OEM pedals. I prefer the sharper look, but could be a bit less bulky IMO.

Interesting find. Cheap alternative for those going for more of an OEM look.

For sure. Love the Ecru & Black mix but black mats all the way.
