I like the top one.

I seem to remember someone saying that the gas pedal is a PITA to remove and install.

The JDM set is the nicest but not for $200. The only pedal set I would purchase are ones that fully fit over the existing pedals. Too bad the gas pedal on the TSX is oversized. The gas pedal on the cheaper set may not fit due to the large stock gas pedal (width and height).

I love the top ones, but $200!!

The bottom ones look like they could be slippery if you have wet shoes.


As an aside, does anyone know why the brake pedal on automatic cars is so huge? Why not just make it the same size as on manual cars?

I read from another post that someone had bought the JDM Euro-R Pedals. Has anyone successfully installed it onto their TSX?

I think its worth it... Mugen pedals go for around $150-180 for set without dead pedal.

Nah, tis the stickers you get with the pedals. Additional horses gauranteed only if stickers are applied per manufacturer's specifications.

I like the ones on the top. The bottom ones look too much like cheap plastic IMO.

Here you go guys I got the prototype from autovation.net Matte Finish 4 piece set.



Installed just in time... DON'T ASK!!!! it was pain *drilling thru metals (lets just say 2 trips to local home depot and now I am a happy owner of brand new Dewalt drill hehehe..)


I know its dark because I ran out of sun lite...But so worth it.

My previous car had the metal pedals (Celica GT-S) and I am soooooo glad the TSX doesn't have them. My foot used to slip off the damn pedals all the time when it rained (foot was wet). It sucks.

I e-mailed AutoVation and was told that they are working on a group buy with the moderators. Here is another picture of what the set would look like...
