Splurged a bit on my pedals..

I was not able to locate a factory type replacement clutch pedal cover (the one with the hex pattern). So I decided to go with a custom set of aluminum covers. I think that they will look cool once installed. Nice thing is the clutch and brake pedals are curved and the WS6 on them to match my WS6 Formula!

"slip"
The holes have raised concentric areas to keep your foot from slipping on the brake and clutch pedals.

And Who in their right mind would drive their car in the rain??

I watch the extended forcast just to make sure.

Those are some nice looking pedals. I splurged a bit on my pedal as well. I paid $150 for my gas pedal and it was shipped from Italy. I like it but some might not but I figured I would show it anyway.
Picture of the pedal before I put it on the car.


Picture of the pedal all lit up. The lights scale up the pedal when pressed and scale back down when I let off.


It kind of goes with the theme of the car as well.

My foot covers them up a bit but they are mainly for show. I am not trying to look at the lights while I am driving so it is okay if my foot covers them up a bit.

Yah, I had quite a time determining if I was going to put in on or not. I literly put in place came back looked at it, took it off, came back and looked at it , over and over several times.
I decided I did like the look of it (Any way 3 screws and I can take it out).

So who knows after driving with it for the season I may change my mind

I emailed them asking to see pics of some of the pedals that aren't shown (formula and t/a specifically) but they don't have any pics....

That's a shame because I'd probably be interested in at least one of the other designs.

Here's their reply:

Hello Scott, we do not have pictures for these right now. However, if you tell me what you want regarding transmission type, generation (assuming 3rd gen), and finish (matte or polished) I can send you a payment request and put in the order.

For more info, from www.autovation.net click Products->GM->Camaro…->Race Pedals

And GB pricing:

I`d reply to that with your order if you want them...this company was very fast on my order and the product was better than described. Ask them for a money back gar. if you not happy with thier results, could`nt hurt to ask

i've had mine for quite some time now, at the time i had to special order them to get mine with an RS logo. they have held up well, and i love the gas pedal (and as someone else mentioned, they do not slip in the rain, and i live in Oregon, i know rain )

I am glad to see that you all like these pedals. I just got my custom set installed (no pics untill the 6-speed is done) and I love them. The guys at Autovation are awesome, and their customer service is top notch. I am planning on getting a set for my pickup too (there ain't nothing worse than losing the brake pedal on a boat ramp). Here is what mine look like.

He sent me another reply:

Hello Scott, I’ve attached a picture with our T/A design. In the next few weeks we will be phasing this out for a nicer “Trans AM” text logo.

Also, here is a link to all our current F-Body designs:

Thank you,
John
