Solution:

Only wear racing shoes when driving.

Get serious.

I used to have some on an RX-7. They had the little black circle things on there to give you grip. Slippery pedals = not safe.

Yeah I'm not liking how slippery they are during the rain but they look nice

Where is the hell do you come up with this stuff George? How do you get through day to day life without asking the most retarded questions.

I haven't been in many other cars, but i rode in a 2012 CLS with aluminum pedals and I noticed they have rubber grip in the drilled parts of the pedal. I kinda like this idea more. I don't have the pedals in my Max, but this thread did kind of make me consider. The rubber grip from the drilled holes is barely noticeable, but I guess if pedals get slick, it's a win win.

Aside from being slippery, aren't the pedal covers bad for the manual-trans Maximas? Because the brake and gas pedals are too close together?

I think it's a good thing... SE is sports trim so by having the brakes and gas pedal closer together you can pull of "sportier" moves
