just received my Ultimate Pedals!

Frosted Smooth finish with custom engraving and 3/4" heeltoe extension on the gas pedal. I have yet to put the polyurethane grip inserts in. This pic is with the pedals right out of the box.

Sorry for the crappy pic. My camera bit the dust so I had to use my phone.

Looks nice. Extension on gas pedal is new too. I need to ask Ultimate Pedal how much the grip inserts would be. Anyone any idea? I bought them in the group buy in early 2004.

looks really nice with the two engravings. $50 for them is a bit much for me though.

thanks guys...total damage was about $240. I know, it sounds ridiculous for pedals, but I can honestly say they fit perfect! They look REALLY good in the car...The heeltoe extension seems like the only added functionality in this case; however, it seems like I have much better feel with the clutch...the extension on the gas pedal is nothing less than great. I can get to the gas with the right side of my feet while on the brake whereas previously it was quite awkward, at least for me. Installed pics in just a few minutes...

The grip inserts were priced at around $10 per dozen. The heeltoe added $15.

The Silver box is an tein EDFC thats used to control the tein SS adjustable coilover suspension. It allows us to control the dampening on the shocks, we can make it ride soft like it was some what stock or make it ride stiff so we can take corners like a sports car

Thanks ITL for info. $10/doz is pretty steep.

Your setup looks damn good.

For me, the EDFC is a necessity with the adjustable damping...I don't regret it at all.

Talking just installed my pedals too

Today was a great day to install stuff...no rain and planty of sun~~
anyways these pedals are using one of the greatest material i have seen. This installation took me about 20 minute to install, however to install the pedals wasn't that hard, the hardest part was to insert those black rubber thing.
here are the pictures...of my 20 minute project

and


ps ITL, sorry to post in your thread, coz don't feel like to creat a new thread since we got our product from the same source...

I didn't wan to say anything, I thought it was your camera... but it certainly looks like you got the shiny from your photos.
Still not feeling the rubber inserts... dig the TL on the gas pedal though.

I'll snap photo of my shiny anti-slips (love the texture, very secure on my feet).

I gotta say, I think they messed your order up in the right way ITL. The shinny looks better in my opinion

I'm sure you could get them engraved somewhere around town. Look for places that engrave trophy's and such. You might get a better deal

I agree...I guess Rob was looking out for me!

The rubber covers come off the clutch and brake. The footrest and gas pedals are plastic. I used the supplied self-tapping screws to drill into the plastic, after drilling a small pilot hole.

for those AT's tler, you are in luck. coz once you take off the rubber pedal cover, there will be two holes waitting for you to put in screws that rob provides, no drill needed!! good luck~~

Aside from looking better, have you guys found these pedals to be better functionally? Thanks.

I have the anti-slip surface ones and I find them to be much better grip-wise than the stock rubber and plastic.

first day experience of these pedals. they are good looking on the first time install. but after a day driving, i can see some scratches already and let me tell you it ain't good looking(btw my was frost all the way, which is easily to get scratches). so for those who haven't install their pedals, here is a suggestion for you: Use scotch tape (you know those kind of magic ones/frost as well, once you apply these tape you can't tell its there), to cover the pedals first and then install it up.
again don't get me wrong guys, it's an awesome pedal. it's just need more care when you step on the gas and brakes...
