These are cool. They have the Infiniti logo on them AND a parking brake pedal.

Also Grubbs:

I second AutoVation @ autovation.net. They have pedals for both the 5AT and 6MT. Unlike others, they screw on, so they don't damage shoes, and are mounted permanently. They also design the gas pedal to be heal and toe affair. A quality product.

I got mine from infinitiwholesaleparts.com (Grubbs). After looking at AutoVation.....I love the design on the pedals. If I would have known about AutoVation, I would have purchased them from there.

To each his own, I guess. BTW, my pedals don't say G35 on them, they have the Infiniti Mt. Fugi Logo on both the brake and clutch. They make them for 5AT as well with eather G35 or the Logo. I think they look great.

I agree with kkh - if you want rice, choose the Autovation pedals. Besides, who wants to drill holes in their pedals, when you can just slip on pedal covers which are just as 'permanent'.

Re: Aluminum Pedals?

Again - To Each His Own. Tell me please, what "rice-up" means. I don't know, but I can guess. I don't think I like the inference. However, the AutoVation pedals can't be beat as far as quality and looks. The Nissan pedal, while nice, is very common, on everyone's "Z", and now a lot of "Gs". My pedals are unique and look and work great. I can heal and toe my gas and brake where you can't as easily with the stock pedal. I bought the right pedal for me, maybe you bought the right pedal for you. Let's leave it that way, huh, and stop the name calling.

Re: Aluminum Pedals?

I prefer the look of the OEM also. I bought mine through Grubbs. Good service. They accidentally forgot to send the clips for the gas pedal. I emailed them, and without hassle they sent me a new one right away. No "Are you sure you didn't get it?" or "We think you lost it", just "We will send a new one out right away." That is service.

So... my vote is for the OEMs from Grubbs.

Just my 2 cents!

Re: Aluminum Pedals?

Also check out strictlyz.com. They offer pretty good service.
I think the drilled pedals definitely "kick it up a notch". After all, it is what they show pictured in all of the brochures - so why isn't it a stock item?
I also added a small blue neon under the dash which really accentuates the metals at night - cool s#*t!!! - Good Luck!

Re: Aluminum Pedals?

Thanks Alkettory

I'm definitely not a ricer according to that description. Since both the Nissan pedals and the AutoVation pedals modify the stock rubber pedals, I don't understand. Neither increases performance, but both enhances looks. The AutoVation does enlarge the gas pedal aiding heal to toe operation. Let's just leave it at, we have a choice and I prefer the looks and functionality of the AutoVation. No rice please.
