The clean up kit and pedal covers that are good products to start with for sure, I'm just not crazy about the diamond plate either. Now if the pedal covers were smooth aluminum and then you put skateboard grip tape on them... they'd be functional and clean. Thats just my style though. Whats the finish like on the clean up kit?

That's a good idea, I could do the same finish as the pedals have now for what you're talking about, its basically like spray on grip tape, but cleaner! Great idea, may be next on the to do list. The finish on the clean up kit is a bumper finish, smooth/satin, was trying to match the color as closely to the lid/rad support as possible. Cool thing about the frp is it can be sanded and painted to match your car/ theme if you wanted to.

Nice. That's just what I was thinking about doing to the clean-up kit. I think gloss black would look sweet

Totally agreed ;-) my first set was actually gloss black, ill try to find a pic. I went with the matter finish on request of a friend who wanted to match the lid is why I went with a dull sheen on this set tho
