how about no ugly ass pedal covers and no steering wheel covers, they do absoutely nothing so dont waste your money. they arent really any CHEAP mods that add power, if you want good brands dont expect to spend less than 150 for each.

The kid seems to be more interested in looks than performance. I mean, seat neons!! Might as well go for the pedal covers and the blinking L.E.D. cigarette lighter.

Of course not. But pedal covers aren't as over-rated as people think. I got the ones with holes in them so my feet don't slip off the pedals. I can't be the only person who thinks they are useful.

there isnt anything wrong with the stock pedals. my feet never slipped off them. ive driven cars with pedal covers on them and the feel isnt the same, and yes ive slipped off them everytime i driven with them.

All I know is my feet ocassionally slip off the stock pedals, so I got covers and I don't slip anymore. They are pocket-change cheap and they actually look pretty good.

I like my covers because they made practicing heel-toe down shifting more precise. The stock pedals are usually designed so regular people don't accidentally hit multiple pedals at once. The covers add a bit more edge, and add some extra pedal on the accelerator just where your heel goes during a heel-toe shift. I think they helped me learn the heal-toe shift faster than when I didn't have them.

I tried picking the most subdued covers possible that were actually functional. Razo isn't too bad.

And BTW, I have a stock colored Wheelskin. And it does do something: better grip on the wheel, and feels nicer. To this day, no one who's ridden in my car has even noticed that I have it on because it's matched so well. But *I* can feel the difference.
