Aftermarket pedals (yes, I said it)

[samuraiz]

Just wondering if anyone has had any good experiences with any aftermarket pedal covers. The rubber on my clutch pedal has worn through and I thought it might be nice to see some brushed aluminum down there rather than nasty worn out rubber. My main concerns are mounting and size, it must be stock size and mount securely. I only have known one person who had aftermarket pedals (cheezy shit that lit up neon blue) and they came off while he was driving once. Totally unacceptable.

Any good/bad experiences or reccomendations?

when I bought my car, there were no rubber pads on the brake and clutch pedals. the previous owner threw in a set of ricer pedals when i bought the car. i went down to the skate shop and bought a sheet of grip tape and proceeded to cut out enough to cover the ricer pedals and secure them on. I have not had one single problem with them in 3 years and I have had my car on the track multiple times.

[samuraiz]

I'm thinking about these sets, though I'm not too sure about the "speed holes"

Attractive, but how do they mount?

Lame looking, but appear to have a secure mounting method.

I'm trying to avoid universal mounting patters like these use, i'd rather drill through the existing pedals just so long as they don't come loose. Gosh are these ugly.

Grip tape, that'll surely hold, but I occasionally drive barefoot and I don't think my feet will much appreciate it.

[spool'nsol]

grip tapes not that bad, i used to skate barefoot occasionally. OEM would be the most JDM :D :D

[Printz]

i like the first option they screw into the stock pedal.

[workinprog]

Had one friend that had the ricer pedals they continued to fall off . Another friend had the pepboys special ricer neon blue ones they shorted his lights out

[alexirkhin]

lol. im interested too, as i have somewhat same prob. lol.

[civicnation425]

ive had similar ricer pedals, if installed right wont be a problem. The mugen ones will have an L shaped bolt (basically half a wing nut) which will hold it on at each corner. Same way as the ricer pedals. Also remember with smooth metal, itll be slick when it gets wet. That was the problem with mine, they got wet and it was tough sometimes.

[workinprog]

yup /\ smooth isnt fun when your shoes are wet your foot will slip off the clutch constantly

[Lule]

If you do go OEM, get your pads from a Honda dealer.

There's plenty of look-a-likes available, most notably the HELP brand. They will fall off in less than a year. Cheap crap.

[eddcartes]

OEM would be the most JDM :D :D (spool'nsol quote)

+1 if i were you, i'll go oem. hope it helps.

[Speedjunky01]

I have rice APC ones that came with car. I like em, make heal>toe easy and are a little slipery when wet butnot too bad.

[EG5[KRT]]

get genuine MUgen pedals :D

[civic96man]

why dont you get the type Rx pedals from www.jdmland.com?

[sql_civic]

I got some blue Razo knock-offs for less than $10. So far, so good. I like the feel better than stock. The look is "eh". The have 4 clips, one on each corner, the grab onto the back of the pedal plate.

[snguy82]

if installed correctly, the corner clips are very secured. Had mine on for 5 years - secured. But what I did was set the aftermarket pedals on top of the oem rubber cover.

Your best bet are the ones that screw directly onto the pedals...no corner clips.

[dustin_crxsi]

I have big feet, 13-14.. I had to get pedals. Get ones that have a little bit of grip, After its been raining, and you walk through water, and you push that break pedal when your shoe is wet, trying to avoid a car infront of you... you'll wish they had some grip.

Isnt it illegal to drive with no shoes?

[MiloReaper87]

I wear converse and rock them but then again i could barely touch the pedals SHEEESSh

I'm running these, I don't know about the whole screwing into the exsisting pedals idea, I put blue locktite on these and they've never come loose or even thought about it.

Well maybe if you kids in chicago dont drive like "gangsta's" all leaned back. lol

[SillyImportRacer]

I've used grip tape on off & on road applications & have ben very happy w/ it. & it's light too.

[gpny]

Moogen pedals FTW... They are amazing!!! My OEM's are still OK though, so I'll wait to buy them...

[vietnameeh]

i did the same thing as mrnicolas... i took my ricer pedals instead of drilllin in i used double sidded tape then i wraped the whole thing in grip tape hahah

hey it works and i think it cost me a total of $3 with enough left over to do probably 10 more sets lol.

Whoa, MrNicolas!! What did you make these out of... roofing shingles? J/K :wink:

[corndog939]

just use some 3m outdoor double sided tape or side molding tape between the "ricer" pedals and the oem pedal before you screw the wing nuts tight, they will never come off (without brute force) so long as you clean both surfaces before hand.

[icarusdown]

I got these at PepBoys ~5 yrs ago.
Paid ~$12
WhoA, that's real CF sweetness in thurr! :haha:

Yeah, they've got the corner clips, but in 5 years, I've NEVER had them come loose and they've got decent wet grip.

i dont really like them to much...and ill tell you why...goin to work one lovely day, pull into the parkin lot and see this bangin ass girl..hott as hell...any ways i was goin like 15 in first, roughly 3500 rpms, i decide to blip the throttle at her to make her look...well when i did that the screw on the pedel went THRU the carpet and hung...a honda bouncin off of 7500 rpms scares alot of people in a parkin lot lol..needless to say i took the pedals off the day after

[AllmotorRex]

the onyly reason i like them is becasue if your shoes are wet they dont slip off

[Partizan]

razo grip pedals are really nice

[zexaccord]

momo pedals FTW, got them in my accord and will never go back

[inh]

[NEP-tuningalltheway]

i really only drag a pedal is a pedal to me haha

[vtecduck]

get a set of sparco ones, you can get them pretty inexpensive and most of them mount to the pedal with screws and not the funky brackets some aftermartkets use. A fried of mine has some in his coupe that he autocrosses, he loves them and has never had a problem.

[MyblkVTEC]

grip tapes not that bad, i used to skate barefoot occasionally. OEM would be the most JDM :D :D

yessir!! :)

[inh]

I think im just going to cover my now bare pedals with griptape..
