Brushed Aluminum Pedals/dead pedal
For those of you who haven't been in the Group Deal forum.....AutoVation has just finished the *very* nice brushed aluminum pedals and dead pedal for the 5th gen (manual or auto). Anyhow, the pedals are top-rate in quality and finish. They are curved correctly to fit directly on - perfect fit. Anyhow, I know they're not really "the look" for the maxima, but I like the feel, and am not gonna spend much time looking at my pedals!
to AutoVation
Here they are, just installed on mine

What did they run you?....I recently ordered a set of AE pedals and dead pedal from Courtesy Nissan for $85 shipped. I know thats kinda expensive, but I wanted to make sure that I would be happy with them. Now I know that I probably could have spent less and had something that still looks good. Looks good....

plus, there is no AE dead pedal
Mizike, they were $69 shipped and they got here in a couple of days...fast.
group deal for them still ongoing: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=378200

Nice, though the Z dead pedal looks better IMO (my taste). As epacy said, as long as you like them.
Since you the heaviest 5th gen on the forum, what's the net savings in weight from the OEM rubber pedals? j/k!!!

These are the standard pedals on my 2K2 with HSLD. As mentioned there is rubber sticking out of the holes, so they are not slippery. I also have Wild *****'s dead pedal.
Irish, those are some of the better looking aftermarket pedal covers I've seen. Any issues with attaching them? I've seen some that have a tendency to want to come off cause of how they're 'clipped' on.

Note...there is NO rubber behind the clutch/brake pedals on these....it is just metal.
I actually just went to 7-11 and drove barefoot-actually much more comfortable barefoot than stock pedals...who knew...

These "secret" beautiful pads I speak of have a very gripping surface with raised lines. I would post pics but then people would steal my idea.
But first I have to get my long-awaited cat-back on the car. I feel like a child at Christmas. The boxes tempt me.

I think they are weak. You should have gone with the better ones.....
Don't drive over and egg my car or anything. Actually, they look pretty good. Definitely look aftermarket, but, yes, some of the better ones I have seen.
I guess since you are going auto-X you are going to start this whole heal-toe thing and drifting backwards around corners.

EDIT: sorry, these are a "driving gear sports interface" not pedals....

i was about to get the AE pedals and the Z deadpedal,but went in on this group deal instead.
im really pleased with the look and function.
it rained here pretty good the other day and even with my shoes being kinda wet it made no difference.
for the price i wouldve paid for the AEs and Z pedals i was able to get these and some chrome gauge rings....

Is there anyone here who prefers things that work good to things that just look good?
I think maybe I'll have to get rid of the photo up top, since all you guys spend so much time looking at your feet while you're driving. Please! Don't drive near me
