The question I asked before about heel tow should have been by leaving the rubber on the gas pedal does that help in raising the pedal higher so that you do not have to roll your right foot as much to engage both break and blip the gas pedal. I am looking to get the gas pedal higher in order to do an easier heel toe. |

Yes it does...Feel is very direct and grip (at least with this finish) is absolutely no slip. There's a lot of rubber on the stock pads. Think Sex with or without a condom...... |

Nice.
I think I'm going to end up ordering these as I'm tired of the lack of grip on the OEM pedals (especially with dress shoes on)... just not sure which surface I am going to go with.

I bought these pedals off of Modshack and installed them this weekend. They are very nice!
Much better than the Touring steel/rubber pedals. These have more grip, the brake and clutch surfaces are a little bit bigger, and because you get rid of the rubberized pedal cover you have a more direct feel with the pedal. Pedal vibrations aren't lessened like they are with the OEM rubber pedal covers. It's very nice and just one of those little things that helps to enhance the driving experience! Also, my dress shoes don't slip off of these pedals!

I really like how you used the polished screws to match your pedals. It looks like it belongs on a 30k car and not a civic.

Here is a picture of mine installed. Just received dead pedal today. What I did for the installation of the dead pedal was the following:
Used a trim panel removal tool (Garden weeder works too) to remove the captive washers off the back of the original dead pedal. Then, I cut a piece of plastic from the top of one of those storage containers to use as a backer. You know those storage cantain tops that we all use for storing our spare parts. I had a black one. I shot some staples through it in four locations and pressed it onto the strofoam platform that the carpet and dead pedal will rest on. Lastly, after putting the carpet back I located the dead pedal where I wanted it and drilled one pilot hole and installed one screw in the lower portion of the pedal. Checked for squareness and then drilled the next hole on the top portion. Finally, I drilled and screwed in the center screw. I only see the need for three screws. I checked the quality of the dead pedal installation by using it multiple times to readjust myself in the drivers seat. Works great no slip or shift. If I notice slipping or shifting I will just replace the short screws with longer 1" screw later. I'm sure that will give it even more stability. I like the installe this way because I can pull back the carpet later if I need to like the factory set up. I guess I should have taken pictures of that process but, I was in a bit of a hurry to get the pedal on and to the doctors at the time. Only took the pictures below after I got back this afternoon.

Just ordered a set of Man Trans Grip finish anodized black without the dead pedal, that extra $20 and 15 minutes was just too much for me :P Cant wait for them to arrive
