Billet pedals?

I think the "racing" pedals look cool but are they really fuctional? It seems your feet would slip. If any of you have found a set you like let me know. This is mostly a "bling" feature for me so......who has the coolest...most functional aftermarket pedals?

PS, I like the ones that come stock on my IS300

I purchased mine from Moss MINI. I like them & I have'nt noticed any foot slip problems.

They were a little tricky to install because of the embosements on the back of the pedals. But they bolt on and come with a proper sized drill bit.

I also painted the horizontal groves and MINI logo on the gas pedal flat black.

What do you think? That is if I can attach the photo! I retry this latter. Sorry!

If it's a metal pedal and doesn't have at least some rubber grips on it, it's going to be slippery when wet. (wow, two hard rock references in one sentence! )

It's only functional if you're using them to move the pedals to a more functional position, or to change pedal height - such as just adding a pad to the brake pedal.

Has anyone seen these in person?



They are from My MINI Parts

They are suppose to have a none slip surface. I really hate how my feet slip around on the stock pedals when they get wet.
