Question Need opinion on some pedals

I really like these pedals from MossMustang.com (apparently made by Cobalt)...

http://www.mossmustang.com/Shop/View...eIndexID=60325

Anyone have any experience with them? Quality? Appearance?

I can't seem to find any pics of them installed so if anyone knows of some pics please link. And how do these install?

Thanks.

I would go with the GT500 pedal covers since they slip right on and replace the current pads. The ones you listed look like the pedal covers that require holes to be drilled in the pedals.

I agree, each to his own but for OEM fit and looks the GT500 pedals can't be beat if you get them from Craig @ Aac4parts@aol.com

Got mine from Autovation (www.autovation.net) and they are very similar to the images you have posted. What I like about them is where the holes are cut through, the raised edge grabs well on my shoes. Even with wet shoes I have no issues with brake, clutch, or gas pedals. I opted to skip the dead pedal since when I depressed the clutch my outside sole hit the dead pedal and limited the full travel.

I like the designs of those you posted, but I cannot attest for the quality of anything but Autovation. I haven't contacted Autovation lately, but they could offer newer designs. You may want to check them out. You can also check my site www.beauchampengineering.net for more info.

Later,

Shaun

Hey Shaun, thanks for the links...the Autovation stuff looks really nice and your site is really good too. Great mods on your car, i have like 80% of the same stuff done (i.e. CDC ducktail, cupholder bezel and rear emblem from SHC, like everything from MGW (lol) including the short throw shifter, etc...). Unless someone convinces me otherwise i think i'm gonna get the pedals from Moss Mustang. I really like the look, quality looks top notch, and i like the way the "GT" lettering looks.

Anyone else have any input?

Too bad I already have the Steeda pedals. Those Moss pedals look pretty cool .

If the mounting method is as similar to the Steeda pedals as it appears, you first remove the rubber covers from the clutch and brake pedals, then drill and attach the aluminum cover. Put the rubber covers aside in case you want to put them back on or throw them away. If you reinstall the rubber covers later, you won't see the holes.

Our gas pedal/arm is plastic and is one piece with no rubber cover. Once you drill this, the holes are there until you repace the assembly.

They are also similar in cost to the Steeda pedals

Use the pedals as a template and mark the holes with a sharpie or something.

To drill the stock pedals, put a block of wood between the pedal and the floor to hold the pedal in position. It is best to use a center punch so the drill bit doesn't walk-around before starting the hole.

Then just bolt them on and enjoy happy feet!

Not sure how the Moss dead pedal mounts. The Steeda dead pedal included a bracket that uses and existing bolt on the left side of the foot well. Need to peal bach the carpet and remove the kick-panel to access the bolt but it all goes back in place when you are done.

Boy that Steeda install sounds an awful lot like the Roush. Wonder which came first, the chicken or the egg!

If I had not gotten mine already from UPR I would get those from Moss. They look pretty sweet.

The GT500/Premier trim group pedal covers are slippery as hell if your shoes are even remotely wet.

They look that way....very smooth. I'm hoping some of the "grit" on the pedals i bought will take care of that and the raised screw holes. Other than that, i just think they look good...go figure.

Here's what I ordered (they're on the way via UPS) Clutch and Brake Pedals and Gas Pedal W/Heel-Toe Extension

The finish I selected was the Frosted Anti-Slip without Rubber Grip Insert (the rubber inserts wear down, and actually are more slippery).

I heel/toe to match revs every single time I downshift while also needing to brake, so this was a good alternative. I realize they're a little pricey, but I really like the frosted anti-slip surface.

For the clutch/brake pedals, the OEM rubber pad needs to be removed, but for the gas pedal, it fits right over the OEM (because it's plastic), which also raises the level a smidge, which in turn makes the heel/toe easier.

lol, you said "frosty"... ...not sure that word belongs next to any Mustang accessories.

jokes aside, great pedals, i definitely looked at those and like them A LOT. I just didn't want to spend that much on pedals and then ran into the ones i got from Moss Mustang. You definitely got a great set. Congrats!

Thanks! Actually I wrote "frosted", not "frosty"....hardened female nipples come to mind with that word...
