Those pedals do look pretty nice! Why do I have to keep coming across things I want but shouldn't be buying!?! Bah.

Certainly not "rice". Though I honestly think there's a lot of gray area when it comes to rice and what people think it is and is not. I have had a small inkling to put some small neons up underneath the dash on the driver and passenger side, like above your feet. No one can see them unless you're riding in the car, and because of that I don't think it's too ricey. Now if you paint all of your interior panels bright yellow (especially if your car isn't bright yellow and basically a show car) then others will notice this, and laugh at you haha.

There is one.

If you order the kit from the link i posted above, you can get the parking brake cover which i beleive is a clutch pedal pad from a 6MT.

Very bad picture




There are guys with these pedals installed with better pics. They look great. I plan on getting a set

These have been on my list for a while, down in the appearance-only section along with the LED upgrades. Gotta deal with more important stuff first like tires, brakes, possibly lowering it, the HKS Sport exhaust. So after I come up with $2500 or so for all these I'll consider the pedals. But damn they do look nice! And my brakes are in pretty decent shape ...

It was the second mod I did for my car back in 03. The OEM sport pedals are great and well built!

How do you replace them? Do they bolt onto the existing rods? If so seems like a simple job.

Nice thread!

I have been considering these (Sitting in my watch list from Riverside Infiniti on Ebay for 5 weeks).

Does anyone know how hot these get in the summer? I drive barefoot a lot all the time. I kind of thought that was why they went with rubber pedals YEARS ago (and slipping).

Dave

Unless the sun is shining on them directly, they should be the same temp as the rest of the interior.

My previous vehicle had Al pedals and i never once had a prob with heat. They always felt cool when i had to move the car around my driveway barefoot.

Only issue i had with them (btw this is a different vehicle i had them in) was driving with wet feet. If it was raining i had ot wipe them off well onthe mat as the pedals were slippery when wet.

MAN!!! You edited your reply to remove the illegal driving barefoot? hehehe

I had always learned it was legal to be barefoot but illegal to wear flipflops as they could hinder your ability to break (flipflops get caught).

I read on the net now that CA is legal for bare feet and theat dmv.ca.gov they do not mention it at all.

Lol. I always thought it was illegal to drive barefoot.

SO i did some checking and it seems it's a urban legend. That's why i edited it out.


I've tried it before though. Feels weird to me. I had to move the seat up to compensate for the lack of a sole. I tried it on a manual trans car and found it odd slipping the clutch. Maybe i'll try it on the g35 this summer now that i know it's not illegal


EDIT: I also noticed i need to proofread my damn posts! I misspelled like a **** in that last one!

Driving barefoot is honestly the best way to drive
