Default Change Out Pedals Including Dead Pedal - Recommendations?

Anyone have a good recommendation on changing out the standard rubber pedals? They are so plain and ugly.

Thanks,

I've been thinking the same this week. My car is in for servicing the Audi A4 I have as a courtesy car has a lovely set of aluminium/rubber pedals.

Thanks,
When I am driving I am looking down the road, not at the pedals. Besides, when I am seated I can't see the pedals because my feet are in the way.

So I guess the only thing you ever replace is your windshield and maybe your wipers?

That is a little off topic. What I do is what I do.

I can't see the pedals while driving. I certainly cannot see them if I am a passenger.

If you want to change yours, don't let me slow you down.

I can actually see my feet and my pedals when driving so I too am interested in pedal replacements.

No harm meant Richard, just having a little fun. Just didn't know why you felt the need to chime in with your opinion knocking my idea. All is good.

I can't see under my hood driving, but I still pop it open and clean it up every month or so. Same for the trunk, door jambs, and the drainage around the trunk. It's nice to have even the things you don't often look at being pretty and clean.
