Post other p car aftermarket pedals?

i know i read a post about this a while back but i cant find it. it was something along the lines of fitment issues w/ the acclerator pedal cause some are hinged and others are floating.

I have a set of Vosstech aluminum pedals. No problems with fitness issues: I have a 'track' model accelerator pedal, and that fits like a shoe! The aluminum accel. pedal bolts onto the regular plastic pedal (You need to drill through the plastic: 3 holes) . For the brake and clutch pedals, you need to remove the rubber top and drill through the metal the same as the accel. pedal.

IIRC, there's a company in California that advertises in Pano and Excellence that sells this pedal.

Fits great, works great, and allows me to heel and toe easier.

There is a guy here making some for the 944. I think he's nearly done with them. You should wait and see, because they will say either "944" or "Turbo" in the Porsche font.

A buddy of mine makes pedals. <a href="http://www.autovation.net" target="_blank">www.autovation.net</a>
The pedals replace the stock ones, no drilling or bolting. Tried to get a group buy together, but too much disagreement about what the pedals should say and the price was a bit high still.

So that whole thing ended up falling through?

That sucks - I really wanted a set of those! Last I spoke with the guy he sounded very confident he'd have them ready very soon...
What happened?

Very well done.

Boxster pedals SHOULD fit your 944: the Boxster throttle is mounted to the floor, IIRC, just like the 944.

I have a set of OMP aluminum pedals, with rubber button inserts for the clutch and brake. Your feet will not slip off, even if your shoes are wet. The right side of the brake pedal has a wall that extends below the pedal, to prevent your foot from slipping underneath the brake pedal when you're on the gas. They're very nice, and fit perfectly.

I put the OMP pedals on my 951. I had to mount the brake pedal a little skewed so that my size 14 foot wouldn't hang up on it when going from gas to brake. It looks a little odd, but I like it: This is a car customized for ME.

I also went with a set of OMP pedals for my 951. Mine were aluminum with no rubber inserts, but they have a good tread pattern and work well even when wet. I added the pedals so that I could move my brake pedal a little closer to the throttle to facilitate heal-toe downshifts (I have a relatively small size 10 foot). As I recall, the pedals were reasonably priced at $40 or so.
