Any aftermarket pedals that DON'T bling? I really don't want a set of shiny bling pedals that look like they are chromed plastic from pep boys. My heart is set on finding some black powdercoated looking pedals but I'm not sure they even exist. I'd probably have to send them off to get em done. Anyone have any pedals that might resemble this or possibly have an aluminum or brushed type finish? I know PFYC has some aluminum looking ones, but I'm looking for other options.

Those are mostly tooling marks. I got a set of them from Dyno Pro Performance for my car. They look different in pics than in person. And if your gonna get them coated it shouldn't matter. The biggest plus to these petals is that they actually bolt through the stock metal with nylon nuts instead of the cheap *** clamps most other brands use.

I'm sure they are high quality, it's just the cheesy/shiny look that I'm trying to avoid. I'm not 100% that I'm getting them coated, and certainly won't if I can find a set to my liking. The powdercoating was just something I thought about doing since I haven't been able to find any that I like thus far.

Well then what is wrong with the stock pedals? 
Sorry it is just hard to figure out exactly what you are looking for. Most people get upgraded pedals to make them stand out, i.e. something shineyer then flat black rubber.
Only other pedals that I can think of are these from thunder :

but I think those are going to be too shiney / busy for you as well.

I would say go with polished aluminum pedals then go over them with some 200 grit then 400 grit. That should bring the bling in them down quite a bit and get you more of a brushed aluminum look.

They are great for heel toe. Come in 4 different styles as well. They are a bit pricey....but IMHO they are worth it.

I had them in my Grand Prix. Cheap junk. I never really trusted their method of attaching them to the stock pedals.
