Sportier Aluminum Pedals
Anybody use any of these?
With Lexus Emblems
Or these if you like them without the Lexus emblems and at a cheaper price?
I realize that this may not be your thing, but for some it will be.
Just wanted to see your thoughts and see if anyone here has used them?

For me I don't think they fit on an LS. They are more for a small 2 door sports car. That's just my feeling.

Well, I think I might take a chance on the eBay ones. Not sure if I need it to say Lexus or have the (L) emblems on them, so I might go for the less expensive brandless ones. If they do suck, I can always put them back on eBay. Who knows, they might actually be nice.

Talking about the illuminated Door Sills? Those are sexy, but they are about $1000 for the set aren't they? They are, after all, only door sills (illuminated or not).

The aluminum pedals dont make the car sportier. If anything it just makes the car a bit less safe. If your feet are wet they can slip on the pedal

Not to contradict your point I8ABMR, but ... if your feet are wet, they are going to slip whether you are on the stock pedals or another type. Your shoe soles probably influence the grip of the pedal to your feet more than the differences between these pedals.
I have a set of the TRD sport pedals in my Tundra, and they are just fine. My wife's BMW X5 has sport pedals (Aluminum). Although I didn't have any on my Z06 (when I owned it), there really (at the time) weren't good pedals out there for it that I liked.
The pedals are purely a cosmetic thing. I happen to like them.
I have a silver car with black interior. Although I don't dislike the wood (I think they call it walnut - it's the cherry stained looking walnut that's standard in most US LS460), I would actually love to have that gray bird's eye maple with my black.
Anyone near Austin with a LS460L want to switch that stuff out with me?

Not being able to get the Bird's Eye Maple is the one downside of having the Sport. It was in my previous 2007 LS, silver with light gray interior.
