Aluminum pedal covers for manual transmission

[Adagusti]

Hey guys seem like I can’t find anything online, I am after some new pedals or pedals cover in aluminium (can have colours) for manual transmission.
Any help would be amazing thanks

Like the kind that they sell at parts stores? https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_...F6kZeBoCUUwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1

Ohhh... Those would match my mustang Cobra deadpedal

I put a set like that on my first TJ (which I still regret selling). The way they worked was that there was the cover you see, and then a piece that went behind the pedal that screwed down and basically smushed the pedal between the two pieces. What I found was that over time they would move & rotate, and it was probably less than 4 weeks before I just threw them away.

Personally I'd rather have the better non-slip surface of all rubber.

I would suggest staying away from the "-Zone" style pedals that just use either tightened down clamps or some even just use pieces of thin metal you bend over to secure them. Several reasons for this: 1) most of the time they just look hideous and very out of place, 2) they are made of the cheapest materials you can source and will shift/rattle/fall off constantly, 3) diamond tread or some type of aggressive patterning might look grippy, but if it's only metal your foot's going to slip the second it gets wet or muddy - you don't want to slip off the brake or clutch at an inopportune time.

If you are completely convinced you want new pedal covers, go with ones that rigidly mount to the existing pedals with screws/bolts, and find some that have rubber inserts like these: https://www.uniquestyleracingstore....g-aluminum-pedals-with-rubber-insert-pdactl04. They're for an Acura but you can see what I'm getting at. Had some just like these on my 300 years ago and they were great.

If you're off roading in the mud or anything wet you need something that doesn't let your feet slip off.
When installing a 1977 CJ pedal assy into a 1977 CJ the pedals were too long so I cut the plates off and bent the arms up. Being young and in a hurry I started to drive it with the bent arms figuring I'd weld the plates back on eventually.
Not only did eventually NEVER come before I sold it, it was raced for 18 years and is still that way today.

Call me crazy but my feet never slipped off once and I guess the guy that raced it had a similar outcome.

I do wish that I made squarer corners on the brake pedal but the original plan was to hide that.

My wife had me install a set of Performance Pedals brand pedals in her Camaro. They had their grid pattern which means her auto transmission brake pedal had tiny pyramid shaped grid on the surface. The gas pedal had the grid also but it didn’t have the points on it so it was rather smooth. I liked the feel of the brake pedal myself, no slip at all. She liked them to at first, but some mobility issues with her legs made her feel like her foot was sticking to the brake pedal too much and was scarring her a little, so she had me take them back off.

They make some for Wranglers too.
