PM me if you have questions.

There are others if you search.


BTW - User Steven Bell recently posted a thread on his new Momo shift knob. Send him a PM and/or seach his user name.

2tone,

Bearcat and I got our Dead Pedals from UltimatePedals.com. Here's a pic of my pedal, but Bearcat has the best pedal by far with the Type S logo embedded into the pedal itself.


Here is a picture of my shift knob. I got it on Ebay-it's a Momo shift knob. I paid $88 for it. There are many styles of Momo shift knobs available. I got this one because the center of the shift knob complimented the silver trim on the center console. I actually saw this shift knob from another post on AcuraZine too.

BearCat spill the beans, I just went to UltimatePedals.com, and I do see TL options but they have so many styles to choose from, which one matches our pedals best? which one you went with? and how did you arrive with the Type-S imprint?

Thanks

I like the one that goes over the side.
They have options to custom engrave or you can put in your own inserts.

TechnoKing,

I got the brushed pedal without the rubber inserts. My pedal is the flanged pedal, meaning it has the "rollover" on the right hand side. I had the Type S logo etched into the pedal. I felt that this combination best matched the existing pedals already on the car. Please call Rob at Ultimate Pedals.com. He was GREAT to work with. And there have been a few people work with them on TL Type S pedals, so I'm sure he is VERY familiar with what you'll need to match your existing pedals. Now Bearcat just recently actually sent them a Type S logo (from the trunk of the car), which they actually embedded into the pedal itself. It looks AWESOME !!! Here's the link to see his dead pedal...https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=178396

Please feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help.

Steven

I got the same finsish as Steven Bell - Brushed/Smooth. I did NOT get the flange and I DID get the flat inserts. I figured the brushed with flat inserts would be closest to the existing pedals.

It's good, but not perfect as a match - the TL-S pedals are shiny/polished.

The Emblem is the actual Type-S Emblem off the trunk lid. I sent it Rob at Ultimate Pedals and he cut a pocket to fit it.

Rob sent the new pedal and my emblem I just epoxyed the Emblem into the pre-cut pocket. Easy-Peasy.
