These Americans drool when seeing these pedals. They can't get them at the dealer, that's why. I don't like them, because they are too small for heel and toe and you have to drill holes in the pedals. However, they are very cheap for us. About $50 US......

nothing special. Looks like any aftermarket style. That's just your local dealer item anyway. If u have opportunities to get mugen ones, go of it!
Don't buy OBX ones! Another Taiwan or Korea made copies.

They look nice. I had them in my Civic Si and they are the exact same size as the stock pedals. They are slippery when your feet are wet especially the gas. The finish started rubbing off on my a little before sold them. Make sure to use a punch when installing them I didn't have one and it was a bitch to drill the holes in the OEM pedals. Use a good drill bit as well if you get them.

What do you guys think?
I "think" I like them so much... I have them on my car.
I got them beacuse they are a Honda part.

I have them on my car, and they are ok. I currently have 50000km on the car, and in that time I have noticed 2 problems:

1. as someone else said, they get slippery - I especially had probs with brake pedal.
2. they wear. The edges have started to wear off due to me heel-toeing all the time. The wear is most pronounced on the RHS of the brake pedal.

Unlike someone else in this thread, I had no problems heel-toeing with them.

YMMV.

Same issues with my set. I guess the Doc Martins are a bit too much for the silvery finish.
I usually run the fan on "floor" setting to help dry the pedals/shoes off when I (rarely) drive the car in the rain.

Heal-toe.... no problem. I guess a size 13 helps.

Hehehe. I too use Docs for driving. Maybe that's why heal-toe is no problem. And I don't have a size 13 foot ... only size 8 (and no jokes about small feet - the rest of me is plenty big
