Neat little trick for better pedal actuation

bum ba bum bum buuummmmm ... just kiddin peeps .. what i did was take a strip of that sticky backed black step grip strips( so ppl dont fall on icey stairs) and trimmed it up to fit on my pedal and voila ..pedals can be wet as wet can be and guess what ... no slippy .. again i will post all my various pics when i get my car from the shop. These pedals i gaurantee will out perform any of those shiney aftermarket , holy crap my foot slipped off the pedal pedals..... i got the idea from mugen. strip of sticky grip .... $3 ........mugen pedals $170. U.S. , you make the choice

NWS pic attached.

ummmm i like the "middle" pedal. looks like it would provide excellent grip, no matter how wet it got.

Is that attachment supposed to be a pic of your pedals or are you trying to get people in trouble at work?

If it was a mistake, so be it, if you did it on purpose at least put a NWS (not work safe) on it

I've also been considering doing this to my pedals, nice to hear the idea i had has been done with good results.

Judging by the picture, it should really help with sliding into gear, and slipping the clutch, hope you practice safe driving while performing these techniques though, you don't want to bust a synchro in her...
