it looks absolutely disgusting. i just want a good set of pedals. i am willing to pay to an amount that i feel is worthy but i am not stupid.

i highly doubt those ultimate pedals will get dirty as quickly as the obx racing pedals. they are shiny smooth drilled aluminum pedals. all the dirt and grim will just slide off it's beautifully polished surface.

i just love them becuase they look just like the ones on the new honda civic si!

I can tell you my pedals from ultimatepedals.com held up really well over the nearly 2 years I had them. They did not get dirty anywhere near as fast as the OBX pedal (that I had installed previously) and they clean-up nice and easy.

I have to admit the price for them IS excessive. I was lucky in that I got a price break on them since I prototyped them for the Gen 2 Solara.

Its your money. Its all subjective. I'd be leary of the warning not to get aluminum for the brake pedal though..

I can't imagine metal pedals at all! Without some kind of rubber grip you'll have foot slippage problem if there's any moisture on your shoes... which I still experience occasionally with the OEM rubber ones.

No. The automatic brake pedal is a lot wider than that of a manual; the manual's brake pedal is almost exactly the same width as the clutch.
