TLS pedals vs Racing Pedals

Thought it might be helpful for people to see the '07 TLS racing pedals compared to the ones from supercomputers. I wanted to know what each one looked like before deciding on ordering the '07 pedals versus other pedals. After seeing the '07 pedals in person my decision was easy. I decided to take pics of the '07 TLS (black on black) pedals along with the supercomputers racing pedals to allow others to see the difference:

TLS pedals and racing pedals side by side:


Side view of all pedals. Gives you a good idea of how much the rubber inserts stick up. In case of the '07 gas pedal, not at all.


Gas Pedal compare:


Brake Pedal compare:


Dead Pedal compare:


Racing pedals overlaying TLS pedals: (ignore hairy arm)


IMO, the TLS pedals look cheap. I think the racing pedals I purchased are of higher quality and the rubber inserts stick out a good distance on all the pedals for good traction. The TLS brake pedal inserts do stick out a good distance as well but they do not stick out on the gas pedal and of course the dead pedal is plastic/rubber.

Are the 07 TLS pedals stainless steel or aluminum?

i like supers much better. i have not put mine on yet. i like that supers are more of a matte finish as well. not about the cheap shiny look of the tl-s. only thing- lets hope supers do not rust. i doubt they will.

great pics. wish i had these pics earlier as i was making my decsion btw the both.......
but as a result i didnt need to have the pics, i knew supers were going to be top quality and much more mean looking!!!!!!

i think we have a def winner!!!

Thanks

good comparison pics, buda.

by looking at the pics, super's pedals definitely look better and have better quality. on top of that, with "Acura" and "A"!
Type-S pedals look filmsy and cheap.

supercomps, how many sets left for 3G Auto TL?

Didn't want to make a new thread for this, but has anyone ordered these from ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...spagenameZWD1V

They come up to $95 shipped, $55 cheaper than supercomputers. Only missing the Acura logo's which doesn't bother me much. Any word on quality?

When I saw this thread pop up, I was like dang how did that one get revived?

Dave had mentioned that he had sold the design so that we might see non-logo versions popping up.

I guess that must be those. They look like the exact same as the ones from Dave. However I do like the logo on them and Dave has treated us well.

Can't order, fits only Automatic and don't have the logo lol.
for the quality, ask for some materials details questions to the seller.

Or you could find the sellers posting for manual

Also on materials, it states clearly in the add:

* These pedals are made from 1/8" cast aluminum enhanced with a spectacular gloss finish over a brushed surface

* Tough rubber backing, which penetrates through holes in the aluminum for excellent grip
