What Brake Pedal Pad Covers Are You Guys Running?

I'm looking for a nice pair of brake pedal pads. I'd prefer chrome, polished, or gloss black aluminum but I'm open to any suggestions... Soo, pics please....

I'm looking for covers for them, not the pedal pads themselves.

Here is an "older" pic of my interrior (with the chrome pedals) since this pic, I've gotten a 6-shooter billet shift ****, shift boot, and gave a black Krylon treatment to the grey gauge bezel...

Nice! Thanks for the reply and the pic. Where did you pick those up -or do you know who makes them? I'm digging the steering wheel by the way...

Pedals seem like a strange thing to draw attention to. But assuming you do, make sure they aren't cheap since: 1. your foot will slip when wet, and 2. it may fall off or not securely fit.

Haha, actually, the pedals were more of an "exitment" gift when I first got the car (you know, the little stuff we buy to our new babies) I got mine at Wal-Mart! But, while walking through Autozone the other day, I noticed they had a nice veriety. One including a black pedal with chrome flames and one with spider/spider webs, tribal, something like that...

...as far as safety and being "cheap" The break pedal is actually bigger and they do bolt on, and stick on pretty well. The both have the metal "bumps/traction" so my shoes don't slip when wet...I actually had that issue before the new pedals...

The price does not matter as long as it's within reason. Most brake pedal covers that I've seen are non-model specific. I could likely see a fitment problem with even higher priced ones. As for my foot slipping, I don't see that ever happening. My 14's cover them pretty well.

Thanks for the info. I was already planning to visit both of those places tomorrow.

I have the MBA billet third gen pedals. MBA went out of business as I understand, but I have seen them on EBAY. They were like $80, but carved out of solid billet and are designed to for our pedals. I don't think that I have any pics, but will try and take some. Do a search I'm sure I am not the only who bought a set of these.

Found a shot with the pedals in it!

I was referring to cheap quality, not the price.

I had these cheap ones on my car. I couldn't get a stock rubber clutch pedal locally so I just went with these covers. They looked ok, but were slippery when wet and it was a pain to drive in dress shoes with hard bottoms.

Get some old stock pedal covers, factory ones, from a junkyard, clean them up. You may have to grind down the brake pedal just a tiny bit.

That's what I'm going to install, once I get my car running again.

Yeah, thats true, but everytime someone says "chrome pedals? whose going to see that?"...I reply, you just did... But like I said, I bought them along with the "fuzzy dice" and the seat covers, you know, stuff you buy out of exitement for your new car...

Thanks for all the replies guys. What do you guys think of these? I'm strongly considering them...

TPl383- I think pedal covers with logos would be a nice touch. By the way, did you ever finish those emblems you were working on? If so shoot me a pm and maybe a pic or two.

sometimes it's hard to beat a set of nice clean OEM-style rubber pedal covers. You can get them right at Advance Auto or through any restoration place, and they're cheap.

The ones I'm going to put in are from a Cadillac, so you get best of both worlds, nice clean black plastic/rubber combined with stainless/chrome "bezel"

That's pretty cool. Knowing me, if I did something like that I would start out with just the pedals, but quickly wind up with a car filled with neons!

I would consider OEM rubber ones but I've gone all out on my interior and I don't think the stockers will correspond with the look.

There made by a comany called Ichibahn Performance. Here's a link to their site: http://www.ichibahn.com/frame2005.html

I'd vote for OEMs, but I know that's not where you're headed.

Thanks for the replies guys! I was going to get the Ichibahn pedal pads that I posted but found out that they have recently been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Those look real nice. You had it engraved locally I'm guessing?

I love the look of those pedals. I was looking at them last night. Are those the polished aluminum or the chrome/airmetal variety pictured on your car? Oh, also I couldn't help but notice the steering wheel. Very nice! Where did you pick that up?

Mine are actually slightly different from the previous pic - they are brushed aluminium. These but the Auto version of course:



So not chrome and not airmetal

The steering wheel is a MOMO V6

no they did it when I bought them, I believe they were using oem emblems too at one point, last I heard they quit doing the emblems because of license rules of tradmarks
