They just fit right over the existing pedals. i would say if you are on the fence about getting them I would do it. They add so much to that area down there. I never used to look down there but now everytime I get in I always take a glance at them while Im getting in

How high are the rubber inserts? Do you think they'll wear down through age?
From pictures, it reminds me of a bunch of slim jims sticking out of a metal bracket.

Does that make any sense? If it were smooth, I could gas it faster.

As far as the warranty goes, I doubt there will be any issues. I had my worries about the pedals sticking but that was because the hardware was too long. I think you will love these pedals. Im going to let the Dallas members drive the car and have them post their thoughts on here. Maybe some different opinions will help.

Thanks.
I'm certainly going to order a set of these, add it to my to do list. which keeps on growing longer and longer.
Window Tints, CAI, pedals, sell my house in Philly and keep paying rent in San Diego. Hehe.
Any members in So Cal gonna get this? Maybe we can get together for a install party.

Hey Trancemission-
Great write up on the pedals...very detailed and love the pics. I'm in for a set. Just a quick question for you guys...How does the group buy thing work? Do we pay for it now in full or with a deposit? Or do we just add our name to a list and then pay closer to the 21st release date?

My only concern is that the rubber inserts stick to far out - for those that have these does it make for an uncomfortable drive...? i'm assuming it would be impossible to drive without shoes on (6MT)

If you take the rubber inserts out, then the screws would stick out even further. So might want to wait for the 2nd batch? unless Supercomputer can have the manufacturer adjust the length of the rubber inserts.

Guys if I find necessary I will swap out the Hardware thats pretty easy. But the Rubber inserts will stay the way they are. You could if you like not use them and just get yourself some smaller screws and bolts and you should still look and install fine.

I thought the rubber inserts are what make them racing pedals..
arent they supposed to keep your feel from slipping off?
Im not sure if the car would even pass an inspection without having some type of grip on them...
I could be wrong though... either way I love them, I really dont see myself driving without any shoes..

^ Yep. I've had pedals with the rubber inserts on my old car (kind of similar to the ones being sold here). It was fine, it felt fine, and it gripped great. I would want to have those inserts on the brake and clutch at least.
This from personal experience.

The pedal war is really heating up . Without seeing Supercomputer's in person it's hard to make a judgement on which one is better. I like his, but I also am very happy with the ones I got and wouldn't even consider trading them in.

Guys there is plenty of Room for both Vendors, Both look nice and are a little different. So either way you go your getting yourself a real nice product. I think its safe to say both of us created these Ideas with all of you in mind. Enjoy the product there should be a few more install photos soon.

I like the supercomputers pedals too, but I could actually do without all the acura symbols all over everything. I know it's an acura, I don't need it branded on every aftermarket item I buy.
