Pedal Kits

Anyone got any information on some great lookin pedal kits for a manual '02 maxima? ive looked at all the ones I can find online and they all seem really cheesy. I want some wicked lookin pedals that somebody will just look at and say "whoa". I dont care how much they cost although they couldnt be too expensive unless theyre dipped in gold, and I dont want the bling bling. Anyway, just wanted to see what everyone else has found. Remember I want something to drool over! (and yeah, theyre only pedals, but still!)

They look great and the best part is since they are OEM they are an easy swap for a 2k2. Add a modified 350z dead pedal and you're all set. Here's where I got mine...

my buddy had bought a really nice looking set for his 2k1 A4 2.8 (raped at a performance shop) and after driving my car he liked the grip and ordered same set for his manual....

if you get the 350z dead pedal you need to slightly modify the plastic base that comes with it to make it fit... i ordered mine from wild bill on here... 25 bucks and all ya gotta do is screw it in...

there is no AE dead pedal for the maxima technically speaking... the 350z pedal matches the AE Maxima pedals almost perfectly though... but, like i said if you get the stock 350z pedal from courtesyparts.com you wlil have to cut into the base to remove some excess plastic not needed for the maxima install...

Definitely check PMAS's writeup like richspidizzy said for a complete how-to. As far as cutting...you only have to cut the plastic base of the dead pedal itself before it goes into the car. There is no cutting required in the car itself or on any parts that are on your car...just on the dead pedal which you would buy. If you have access to a bandsaw you could cut the base down in 30 seconds. I used a little handsaw so it took me about 15 minutes to cut it down and sand it smooth. Worst case scenario is you mess up a $15 piece of plastic...and even that would be hard to do because you have such a large margin for error. It's a piece of cake.
