That dead pedal price from them is stupid,
I'd buy them if they did something like a total set discount, or the dead pedal was a little more reasonable,

Anybody want to organize a GB?

I don't want a deal-pedal. That price is outrageous.

So i know they arent what you all are talking about but

My feet dont slide AT ALL when wet. I would recommend the generic ones that mimic the ACS pedals assuming they are similar to the real thing in terms of materials. The one thing, dress shoes tend to be a little slippy on the clutch pedal, though i would assume stock isnt much better. I have never wanted a wider gas pedal, it seems to me that my shoes are already pretty close to the gas pedal when braking, i wouldnt go an lager.

I'd be interested in the GB. I also agree that the dead pedal isn't worth the money.

That is one thing that is superb on these (plain finished)....wet...no slip !
But not so aggressive that they eat shoes.
==============

The powder coating is not slippery in the least; the blocked texture on these pedals comes through very well. I had them done locally by a shop in LA.

Looks good, I was planning on getting those pedals after trying them in a fellow members car, and definitely will take the black powdercoat route you did!

+1 on powder coated ultimate pedals. Will be doing this mod when finances allow.

I really like this look too. So, when you get your done, make sure you pass along the name of "your guy", 'kay?

Let's see, gas to and from, lunch, mod ideas, hmmm, how much did Exhaust 'Fest cost each of us? (So far, for me, it's been a performance shift knob and UUC SSK--all in the mail as I write this.)

Rclem said the powdercoat he had done was holding up well at +2 years.

Were you thinking about the ones in your post over the Utimates? FWIW, the Ultimates are super grippy, even when wet, due to the anti-slip texture. The ones you linked up are a smooth finish, so I'd think they'd be a lot more slippery. Ultimate makes a smooth version as well, and also makes a textured plus little rubber inserts. (Did I mention I like my pedals?) Gonna like them more once Gferil finds me a "guy" to powdercoat them too!

Good link, but I think I'm going to stick with the Ultimates on my purchase. The main reason is for the extended gas pedal

The Ultimates are a CNC'd machine surface while the other version is a cast and sanded pedal.

I would believe the sharper edges of a machine cut higher alloy content would provide a longer lasting edge compared to a cast unit.

I'd be interested in a group buy if we get one going (purely impulse purchase on my end... but it's on discount!). There was a group buy previously, so the company is open to them.
