Anyone have a cool dead-pedal in their car?
i always keep my left foot on that plastic (part of the carpet) dead pedal.
does anyone have an aftermarket one installed, or even fabricated one?
just wondering, becuase I am thinking of doing something with mine,
like diamond plating or something.

Well, I was curious to know what a dead-pedal was. Didn't ever think that someone would want to make it stand out!

Maybe I'll get a carbon fiber ash tray.
Ooohhhh. Chrome plated flasher relay.
And the ever popular titanium seat rail bolts.

5'7" huh and you are so tall you need to put your foot all the way back against the seat? Try moving the seat back
Anyway, I don't see why anyone would want to customize the dead pedal, but whatever soaks your goat.

alrite guys, thanks for burnin the idea. the reason is, its the one area of
the floor that looks a little ratty. the plastic is just torn up looking from the
abuse of shoes etc. So i thought a metal overlay would just look better,
doesnt have a large function, like those huge spoilers that help supposingly
create a downforce, oh but wait, you have to be going how fast for that
to happen? just my point...

sometimes i drive with 2 feet...but when i dont i guess i have the other foot on the floorboard..but this is when im driving my high power golf carts at work LOL. the carbon fiber idea doesnt sound bad...but its gonna be one of those mods where you have to tell people you have it - to get them to notice...its not gonna be something noticeable...sounds more like a mod for personal comfort to me....but i would want to see how this looks if anyone follows through with this idea.
