Diy: Grip tape pedals.
 

How to make grip tape pedals.

Go to your local hardware store and buy a piece of 4in wide by 12in long grip tape, this stuff is used for steps to make them skid resistant so the guy at the counter might not know what your talking about. If you go to a skate shop they probably wont sell you the amount you need so if your cool with the guy at the shop ask him to save you extra pieces. This is what it should look like. https://i181.photobucket.com/albums/...edalDIY006.jpg

Slip off the old rubber pieces of your pedals. You will end up with something like this more of less worn out.

Trace the shape of the rubber piece onto the piece of grip tape. Its gonna look like this.

Cut the pieces out and your gonna end up with something like this.

Go to your car and clean off the pedals, make sure they aren't wet or anything.

Apply the tape to the pedals and make necessary trimming to get it to fit perfectly.
your gonna end up with something like this. (not trimmed yet)

Its not that, i dont think it will stay sticky to it. If you put it to the metal it will stick with no problems.

great diy bro, i'm def going to try this...its raining season so this will def help.

yup, ive also seen guys with stripped cars put a piece of grip tape on the floor under the pedals where ur heels go. it works, and it looks pretty kool too. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: (DOHChatchGUY)
 

Will the grip tape get ruined from water?

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (what da phuck)
 

Nope it wont get ruined, At least the hardware store stuff wont because its specifically made for that. Thats one of the reasons I put them on there I hate slippery pedals when I first get in.

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (ejoner)
 

That is genius haha! I have MOMO racing pedals, if I put them on there would it damage the pedals? How does removal go?

Looks good, but could use more work.

Very nice, just what I need for the winter. Thanks

going to do it this weekend

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (EJ8CIVIC)
 

Seen this done before in auto salon mag seems pretty cool

Whats it like to drive though?

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (Luserkid)
 

LMAO. Awesome man https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (Aushonda)
 

Feels good you can actually use the very angle and tip of your shoe to clutch now so you can leave the rest of your foot on the dead pedal. Heel toeing is easier also because your toe has more grip and stays on the brake pedal.

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (ejoner)
 

looks like crap! but great idea. you can always stick'em on first and then cut off the excess like how they do when puttin grip tape on skateboards

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (ejoner)
 

when the grip tape wears off.. is it a hassle to take off? good DIY https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
and has it damaged your shoes in any way?lol..just curious

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (ejoner)
 

I have been doing that to all my cars for years. I did this to my eh 2 years ago and the tape hasn't worn off yet. Just make sure to clean the bare medal really well.

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (MurdersV8s)
 

I really doubt its going to ware off and if it does its gonna take at least a few years. 3m stuff is good ish. Yeah I haven't had time to clean the edges up. Your going to have to clean it off with goo gone or brake cleaner to take the adhesive off if you wanna remove them. Nope hasn't messed up my shoes.

Re: Diy: Grip tape pedals. (ejoner)
 

it does wear off and its slippery when wet. Its almost like ice when theres snow on it...but it doesn't squeak when your shoes are wet!
