Aluminum pedal covers

[Camshaft]

Hi there, I stopped at the dealership today to price out the Mazdaspeed3 pedal covers for my car. Imagine my surprise when they came back at $590 for the gas pedal alone! Apparently it has to be ordered as the whole assembly. I found these on eBay but I'm suspicious: https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned)
I hate buying cheap knockoff crap, but honestly, who is going to pay that much for aluminum pedals? Let me know if you're running these, or if there's a better option out there.

They're knock-offs for sure.. But who knows, they may be great for you. $30 isn't too much of a gamble.

Or you could try the dealership for these babies:

A few Mazda 3 dudes are running knock-offs off of eBay. Probably the same manufacturer as those, and have had no problems.

Alex,

Are your pedals 2-specific, or made for the 3? What did they run?

Yeah, if I can buy them at the dealership, I totally will.

Dealer option for the Mazda 2.. got them when I got my car. I have no idea what they cost, as I got the car/pedals 1.5 years ago lol.

No idea how the stock pedals are, but these pedals are good for Heel/toe.

Nice - I'll look into it. We may not have that as a US dealer option. I never noticed before...

Must be a canada thing...I've never seen them.

 

[CRG Racer24]

Nice! I love those pedals.. one of my favourite things about the car.

Don't buy the covers from ebay. I got them but never installed. The dead pedal doesn't fit well and the accel pedal is a silly shape.

 

[Camshaft]

Looks like I'll be calling a Canadian Mazda dealer...

Let us know what you find out...

Hasn't been a lot of discussion about aftermarket pedal pads. I'm curious what people think of these:

Anybody ever try RAZO pads? What brands are supposed to be good? I don't need the best set ever. Just something that doesn't look cheap and is durable.

I have these, except they're in a limited edition pink color. My friend brought them back from Tokyo Auto Salon 2012.

They're awesome. And real authentic JDM rice.

Those look really cool. Do you have any pictures of them installed?

If I were going with generic aftermarkets, I think I'd just get a set of Sparco or OMP pedal covers. At least you know the quality is there and they're functional in terms of grip and stuff. Those Carbing ones look pretty cool too, but probably much harder to get and I'd suspect more expensive if you can find them.

You could also just go with the classic racer trick of peeling the rubber pedal pads off and sticking skateboard grip tape on the metal pedals, but obviously that doesn't look anywhere near as cool. I have it on the E30 and it works pretty well, though.

My WRX and 8th Gen Si had metal pedals with rubber "dots" in them, and they worked pretty well. I wouldn't mind a set like that but it seems like the only really good option is the one from the dealer that you can't get here.
