Glow in the dark Pedals...

Pedal covers (glow in the dark kind)

My question is this... I saw a nice set of glow in the dark blue pedal covers at the carshow yesterday. I was going to buy them, but since it was an IMPORT carshow I asked the guy if it would work on my car and he is like "duh.. i dunno!"

so.... any ideas?

Glow in the dark pedals sound cool, but seem to look it.

I thought they were the flourescent gelatin the glows in the dark once exposed to light first.

My pedals (though not glow in the dark) fit over the stock ones and screw on. Prolly be best to measure yours and the glow in the dark ones.

Or you could just slap a few glow in the dark condoms on there.

Yes they will fit, just like any other pedal covers (see pic below)

they simply screw on over the other ones...

And they function like Indiglow gauges......you give them power and they glow.......

They will fit.......not perfect since they are universal, but good enough.....you have to mess around with them for a while and kinda improvise, the gas pedal is the hard part.....

I would much rather shell out $80 for the cross drilled billet aluminum ones like Sparco's because the quality looks really good. I don't want to sound like I putting down those inexpensive pedal covers, its just that I don't want to put anymore cheap looking parts on my car - I have enough of them already - I might as well start doing things right and tastefully starting ............................now.

I've got bolt-on Spectre race pedals... gray/black...

They make glow inserts in several colors I think... but they're kinda cheap (brand in general is...), so you may wanna roll with something a little more.. cool..

I helped my cousin put a set on his civic!!!!!(i felt like i was cheating on my car) Anyways, they were pretty easy to put on.

And, no offense to anybody who has them, i don't like them.

NO!!!!!!!! no neon pedals please, some of the more expensive aluminum pedal-covers can help keep your feet from slipping off the pedals, but the neon is OUT. brad

I don't think the pedals are make specific. I have some on Z and I don't think they are all the bright. Well not the ones I have. I like mine though they give a little more style or character or something. I am an idiot when it comes to cars and I could put them on so anyone can.
