.... Incomplete??


This can't be right. Hmmmm.....

 

they sent a half done pedal?

 

C'mon, Bear...you gotta get that replaced, lol.

 

It's a "dead" pedal...

 

It looks like the letter molding fell out or something

 

They say Karma's a bi*ch...maybe if you didn't leave negative posts on other peoples threads these sort of things wouldn't happen??

 

.... "Teaser?"
















Got the idea from StevenBell - - and since I was already debadged, I had the Type-S just sitting around gathering dust. Until today.

(Sorry the pics aren't better )

 

ahh haha good one Jim. You got me!

..looks good, nice addition to the interior.

 

I like!

 

so its been dremeled out right? cool idea

 

It looks very nice, where did you get the dead paddle from? i wonder how much would that type S badge cost @ dealer all together.

 

Emblem is ~$30 at http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...s=&view=normal



Ultimate Pedals did the pedal and cut the pocket to the size and shape of the emblem.

Fit and finish are

 

wow...that looks really good

 

That's really cool!

 

Baller!

 

oh shit... good idea...

how much was the pedal with the cutout?

 

Very clean and nice look there!

 

Very nice!
Has the shape of the OEM rubber pedal...perfect! Is this a custom one off (minus the cut out) or OTS?

 

me likey

 

Very nice, GJ!!!

 

Hey, thanks everybody -

But I have to give credit where credit is due:

This was Steven Bell's idea. When he got his pedal, it was suggested as an option.

When I was thinking about ordering, I traded some PM with Steven and he suggested it to me. Since I already had the "Type-S" Badge sitting around, it was easy to get it done.

So, big props to Steven Bell : bow: .

 

The pedal itself is OTS (also available with a flange and/or different finishes), although I *think* each pedal is made to order.

Cut out was custom (you can get a cutout for pretty much anything you want) and cost a few $ over the standard pedal price.

 

Jim, you got me on the first post! I was like WTF....... Nice custom look to those pedals.

 

I might get one with "NBP" stamped on it ROFL...

 

^^

OR

 

Very nice.

 

What a nice teaser campaign. You had alot of guys scratching their heads. WOW...the pedal is slammin' !!!! By far, it's the best looking dead pedal on the site.

 

looks great Jim, did you end up just screwing it on the black, or did you tear the current rubber up, then apply?

 

nice teaser, Bearcat good one.

 

Thanks. Put it on right over top of the OE Rubber foot rest.



Sorry man. :wink:

 

that's a great idea, and it matches the TypeS theme beautifully and keeps the dead pedal looking stock.

 

Where can we find a dead pedal that matches the stock Type S brake and gas pedals?
While the dead pedal Bearcat94 has looks good, it just doesn't look like it matches the other pedals.

 

You'd have to search for my solution

I tinkered a lot, my pedal set looks identical to the supercomputers pedals except there is no "A" or "Acura" written on them, and it was half the price

 

i have the same footrest as bearcat94, im gonna de-anodize it sand and polish it today, should match the others better. i'll post pics when i finish.

 

nice one!

 

Absolutely gorgeous!

Too bad you're still missing a pedal, and the brake pedal is so big! LOL!

 

ok i de-anodized the aluminum pedal using easy-off oven cleaner sanded it with 900 and 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper and then polished it a bit with a buffer and some metal polish. here is what it looks like.


polished pedal

how it looked before


sprayed easy-off on it

took most of the anodizing off, you could see a tiny bit on the lower edge

easy-off oozed through the holes in the pedal, you can clearly see how it took the anodizing off where it came through.


polished for like 15-20 minutes looks like this. now all i need to do is put back the tiny rubbers and screw it down.

matches better than before imho. and looks better in person.

 

when i saw the first picture i was thinking lmfao wsup with the hole then saw the rest. cool idea

 

jim, i can't believe i've never seen this thread before, buddy. nice work!

 

Guys, Bearcat and I both got our Dead Pedals from UltimatePedals.com. If you are looking for a perfect match, that is a matter of opinion. The accelerator pedal does not have rubber knobs but the brake pedal does. The finish on the pedals varies based upon the cleanliness of the pedals...how well you keep them clean. I have 2 versions of my pedal. Originally, I had the Type S logo etched in, but later, I bought a Type S logo and adhered it onto the pedal for a better look (in my opinion). I also feel that the flanged version that I have looks better because you don't see the original black rubber pedal underneath. It covers it by curving down on the right hand side of the pedal.

Original Etched Version:



Newer Version (with Type S logo on top):
