Sparco Stripe pedals

Hey guys, I was just wondering what you guys think of Sparco stripe pedals. If you don't know the name you probably have seen them. they can be found here http://www.sparcousa.com/ptuning_pedals.asp?id=458.

Thanks guys.

I like the looks of XLR8 Pedals better. I'm sure the Sparco's are solid parts, but I like looking down and seeing Type S instead of Sparco. Having never used the Sparco pedals, I can't imagine the feel and grip are much different.

I have the Sparco Stripe Pedal Kit (silver/black). I also have the Sparco Speed Shift Knob (chrome) and two pairs of the Sparco Seatbelt Racing Shoulder Belt Pad 77 Line (red). I love my Sparco products! Sparco's quality is superior to all other similar products that I have had.

My only hesitation is that I want an element of blue on there... do you guys think I could paint the black "nubs" and somehow get it to stick?

Nope, the paint will just rub off after awhile.

You can try to find some blue rubber and use a dremal to cut out the plastic to make the inserts for the XLR8 Pedals. thats your best bet if thats what you want. But still Pick up the XLR8 pedals. I luv mine. feel great, look great.

Im not sure how well a stain or a dye would work. It would be easier if you were dying white rubber, but black rubber may not work.

These might possibly be the coolest pedals in existence.

It looks like that, but apparently they're from a new car. The Renault Twingo.

Here's a more real looking photo.
