Are sport pedals ricey?

I hate ricers just as much as the next guy, but I can't help feeling that it seems reasonable to spend what, 20 bucks? on some pedals. Sure they don't do anything, sure you can't even really see them when you're driving, but it still seems like a nice attractive CHEAP mod for a G driver.

Opinions?

many sport pedals have an adjustable extension that allows one to perform an easier heel and toe.

I'd be cautious buying them from ebay, you could get them and they might look like pure crap. It's only $20 bucks though so no harm done.

Count me as another vote for not ricey. All sorts of performance cars have them. Just don't put neon or Asian characters on them and you'll be fine.

H3nry,

Are those full pedals or just overlays that go on your current pedals? I want to change mine really bad, but haven't found the right ones. Also, gotta have $$$ for tune, springs, maybe exhaust, the list seems to get bigger every time I add a new mod. Doesn't make sense to me, shouldn't the list get smaller as you do things? I guess this is what it's like to have an addiction.

If these are full pedals would you post the link?

The only pedals i'd consider are the OEM sport pedals. They are much better looking than that.




The other pedals look cheap and cheesy in a classy car like an infiniti

They are just overlays. Full pedals cost a little more, but still seem like cool investments. If I went full pedals, I would go for these:
