I had a set on my MINI, but i bought them from a MINI after market dealer, they are very nice looking, I just always thought it was a MINi exclusive product.
they do not slip even if its wet, i mean you are not really moving your feet. Pain to install, if you forget to buy the right drill bits, and the position you need to get into, but yeah.

I'm still undecided on a base w/ sport vs. a touring w/ sport. If I go with the base, the pedal swap from the touring would be one of my first mods. Hoping it's an easy install. |

I actually find the aluminum pedals with this texture less slippery than the rubber pedals in my wife's car. Getting rid of the rubber also allows for more pedal feel, I guess this is why exotic cars have metal pedals from the factory.
Person above is right, the position you will have to be in to drill holes is slightly more comfortable than full yoga in some cars and you don't want to skimp on drill bits. I found using a center punch, a smaller bit, and then a correct sized bit was the easiest way to do this after doing several pedal installations in various cars I have owned.

^^ wrh3 is correct. This is how I installed some pedals in an 1999 civic many years ago. Start with a smaller bit, work your way up to the correct bit size it calls for. Whatever kind of steel factory pedals are made of......is very hard. =O)
