I don't know man... I modified a 1999 Corvette gas pedal for use in my car and comparing that pedal to the WRX one it was only about an inch or so longer. I think it just LOOKED a lot longer because it was completely flat while the Japanese pedals I replaced it with were curved.

The only really long ones I know of attach to the floor, and they're only long because of that. Most sports cars use short gas pedals because it's easier to do more advanced pedal maneuvers like heal-toeing. With the recent lawsuits dealing with pedals getting bunched up or caught up in the pedals I think we're all going to see small pedals from here on out.

Here's a pretty "classic" GM Gas Pedal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buick-Chevy-Olds-Pontiac-Accelerator-Gas-Pedal-w-Stainless-Chrome-Trim-Surround-/330773641418?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d03a538ca&vxp=mtr

EDIT: here's a big fatty matching brake pedal:

EDIT AGAIN:

this is the longest skinniest pedal I could fin... it's $75 but it's comically large

Howard, if you cover the freight you can have an original pedal box from Daytona as pictured

I appreciate it man, that's really generous, but it'd probably be over-kill for my needs.  I took a quick look at the auto parts store today, aside from being the tackiest covers I've ever seen, they were quite sturdy.  The machined ones were at least 1/4 inch thick.  You could just flat out replace the pedals... no covering.

I really like the ones twisted symphony posted actually.  I'm a few weeks out from getting to the dress up stage... I probably need to build the dang thing first.  ;)
