Pedal Covers
Howard_Casto:
So assuming I find the time this summer to actually put my rig together, I've decided that I'll either make custom pedals from scratch or heavily modify a set that I have to make them, for lack of a better term, more car-like.
The mechanics aren't so hard, a rod, some springs and a pot.... I'll probably just steal those out of an old console set, but what about the pedals themselves?
I've been looking at pedal dress-up kits tonight, trying to find something you would see in a real car (not a race car... street car). I've found a few, but, and excuse me if this offends some of you racing fans they all look like the fast and the furious threw up on the floor boards.
I was kind of looking for something subtle, with a long, thin style gas pedal.
Thus far this is the best I've found in a reasonable price range:

So I'm welcome to suggestions, and while we are at it, let's just make this a thread to post pedals and dress up kits that would look nicer in a racing cab.

hi. I used some cheap generic ones from the local car parts store. I had tried 3 sets and had to go with the steel ones as the alloy ones were too soft and keep bending. There is one pic in my old thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,133948.msg1380443.html#msg1380443

meh, seems pricey for 2 pedal covers.
You can get a set of Logitech G27 pedals off ebay for the same price.
The pots are 10k instead of the 50 or 100k your wheel probably requires, and they're the little gamepad type pots, but you've still got the pedals, springs, brackets, etc. The individual brackets for each pedal can be removed from the base and mounted any way you like.

Yeah but even if I went the g27 pedal route, I would still want to mod them. Those are race car pedals, I want regular car pedals.
