Pedals. What are you using? Post your photos. SRP Racing Pedals (Block); I bought them about a year ago and painted them gloss black, finally got around to sanding off the tops and installed them in my daily driver.

This thread fu<king rules I've been trying to find some real good pics of SRP pedals for awhile now, Thx. They look damn good, props. How do they feel compared to the stock pedals?
Now if i can only decide on what options I want: smooth gas-non smooth, trim ring-no trim ring, block-grid.

Thank You
You just made me realize, among other things, I have changed pedals on every vehicle I've owned, some of them below.
I haven't seen many photos myself other then the ones that I found and quoted below from other threads on this forum.
I think the SRP pedals are one of the better options out there. Painting them and sanding the top contact area added a nice detail.
I also used 3M body side molding tape instead of the supplied screws.
Original pads 12 years / 145,000 miles

I installed SRP pedals about two months ago, and figured you might want some driving/installation impressions. First, a picture:
I went with the block style over the grid style, despite SRP's claims that their new grid style is grippier. I theorized that their testing methodology didn't account for the fact that the pedals (and people's feet) tend to mate at an oblique angle, where a bigger, more "gnarly" stair-step pattern would offer superior feel--especially if you wear dress shoes a lot. I think I was right, but frankly, I'd have to shell out another $160 to find out, and I'm not about to do that.
SRP pedals versus the stock pedals:

SRP pedals versus the stock pedals:
- Heel-toeing is now possible. That's huge--and frankly, the only reason why I think anyone can justify the $160 price. The broad strip that SRP added to the left side of the gas pedal finally gives you enough material to get your heel on it without having to jump in your seat and rotate your hips.
- Downward slippage on the clutch pedal is reduced. That slow, downward slippage you probably get when you're in stop-and-go traffic is mostly solved. Ever have to put the car into neutral because you were worried that your foot was getting low on the pedal? I used to have to do that all the time, and have only had to do it once or twice since.
- Wet traction and wet rubber squeak are solved. Thank God.
Important installation observation:
- They don't give you the right hardware for the gas pedal and the emergency brake pedal. I had to dip into my hardware reserves (including plastic drywall anchors for the emergency brake pedal) because their screws didn't want to tap, or the bolts were too short, or there wasn't enough of something. That sucked, but I got the job done in an hour.
I have SRP Racing Pedals and I love them. They are such a great bang for the buck. and yes, heal-toeing is a lot easier w/ them...it's virtually begging you to heal toe it..cause it makes the pedals a lot closer together.. sometimes when I lift my foot off the accelerator pedal the rim of my sneaker will catch on the brake (that's how close they can be)....it took a few days to get used to that but I enjoy them a lot. I have it on my foot rest..but I'm considering to take it off cause it looks weird. ...here's the only pic I have of them..

How is the grip on these pedals? I've noticed on the C5s that the clutch pedal can be slippery at times. This is why I've never been able to commit to medal pedals. Nothing like having your foot slip off the clutch pedal when you're shifting at 6K.

It may look like it in the photos but they are actually at different heights, clutch is the highest and the accelerator is the lowest. When applying the brakes, the brake and accelerator pedals come close to the same height.

Where the soles of your shoes wet at all?

I used Plasti-Kote Engine Enamel and sanded the paint off the contact areas. I really don't think there will be a problem with grip, just as I was at cruising speed with my foot on the accelerator I couldn't slide my foot off, the brake and clutch get a lot more applied pressure than the accelerator. I think these will also be an improvement over the rubber pedals with wet soles as they also dig in.

I wanted a set of the MBA's But no one ever has them for sale. I ordered from Autovation and they made me a nice set but they have HORRIBLE customer service and no phone # or contact information. Nor did they let me know anything during the month they were possibly making them. But they sure deposited money the day I ordered lol.
In the end I got them....just beware. I had to file a paypal complaint before any correspondence was answered and only then did they magically ship them out THAT same day. Odd? Maybe. Just beware.
Now I need new carpet. Has a wear hole in it.

I know that tape is pretty good, but the last thing I'd want is the possibility of one of my pedals falling off while I was driving. Yeah, there's metal behind them that you could still grip, but it would be enough of a distraction that you could possibly end up rear ending someone if you were trying to do a panic stop and the pedal came off.
