Re: Pedal Customization

Anybody know where I can find pedal covers like these or if it’s other pedals that are interchangeable with 3rd gens similar to these ?

Re: Pedal Customization

Doubt theres anything interchangeable and those cheesy covers are, well cheesy to say the least.I have Chrysler crossfire pedals in mine, but they are not a drop in part.

Re: Pedal Customization



I think these "Racing" pedals might be somewhere in the bottom of a junk barrel. Was saving them for a white elephant gag gift.

All kidding aside, even most of the fancy covers are just for decoration. The stock grippy rubber will usually work better in all elements than billet aluminum or stainless steel. If a person was really serious, they could cut the pedal pads to fit covers from another car, or cut the pads off a donor car with covers you like better, and weld them onto the stock pedal arms. Most of the time the end result looks just as corny as Walmart pedals covered in mud and a floor littered with garbage, but follow your heart.

Re: Pedal Customization

The clutch and brake arms and pedals in my brothers Corvette Z06 are all aluminum. Light weight compared to their steel counterparts in a std. Vette I guess. But they would not be drop in, nor cheap.

You can probably look at a a racing supplier site and find something, but again, it won't be a drop-in conversion.

Re: Pedal Customization

I tried the vette aluminum brk pedal years ago.I remember the bend/angle put the pad too close to the gas pedal or maybe it was the other way around.Also the plate for the brake light switch was in the wrong spot.Was a nice piece though....My crossfire pedals.

Re: Pedal Customization
