Aluminum pedals on an AT car without matching dead pedal: yay or nay?

http://www.parts4euro.com/DCShop/pro...oducts_id=1118

I'm thinking of getting this set for my A4 6sp AT, I'm just wondering if it looks funny to have just two metal pedals down there. Usually people get the matching dead pedal but Osir doesn't make one. I could get the OEM but it's not exactly the same look and it's a lot more money. The OEM set is way beyond my price range. So anyway, I'm curious if most people here think just two metal pieces down there looks OK or if it looks bad.

I was looking for pics of car interiors that have just two, I know I saw some automatic car the other day that came from factory with just the gas and brake as aluminum and dead pedal in plastic, but I can't remember what it was.

I'd have to have a matching dead pedal. Have you looked at Ultimate Pedals or equivalent?

I just looked and they don't have anything like the OEM dead pedal.

I don't like this part:

"clip on for the gas pedal"

Sounds like it could slide off or something. The brake pedal is replaced they say so why not gas pedal?

Get the matching dead pedal. I think it would look incomplete without it

OK, now I know where I saw the two auto pedals without a dead pedal. The Audi R8!



It's weird though, I see other pics of the R8 with an aluminum dead pedal. The one I saw at a dealer didn't have it.

I love that the windows were blanked out in this pic and the reflection in the mirror is still there
