First off, they are not from Lexus. They are cheapo ebay/pep boys stamped tin pedal COVERS with an unauthorized Lexus symbol on them.

Secondly, what on God's good earth would you need these for? They help you go faster? Better grip while you are tracking your 3700lb car?

Save your money.

mkorsu <--- You ever heard of photobucket ? its a site where you can upload all your PERSONAL pictures. This way you don't have to use a car forums bandwidth for your personal photos. Just an off topic thought.

I don't see anything wrong with dressing up the interior of your car.


I love the description : "Hand brake" pedal

MMMmmmm..... crab rangoons are good

And those pedals look like crap. Get the actual pedal... something that isn't a snap on.

I bought a set of cheapo Ebay pedals because the original plastic covered pedals squeaked too much when my shoes are wet from rain.

Here's a picture of the ones I bought. The quality of these pedals are okay, but the mounting hardware is made of cheap metal. I was also able to mount these in a way that the "hump" on the accelerator roughly lays on the same plane as my break pedals. Makes for much easier Heel-and-Toe down shifts. So I say to you all naysayers, it CAN be a "performance" upgrade.


******
Updated with pic of it installed: Notice that I had to mount the clutch pedal as high as possible due to the large angle required for our cars to engage/disengage fully.

Oh...and too much time on his hands!

I realize there was some sarcasm in the post, but real sport pedals do make a difference. I like to do a lot of 'spirited' driving and some cars make it very difficult to heel toe. Of course I can still do it, but I would prefer to get "sport" pedals which make it more accurate to heel toe.
