Question Pedals on eBay - Good??

Does anyone have any experience with changing the pedals on their 951?

I see these on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...921717373&rd=1

They look pretty nice. Any opinions one way or the other?

Thanks. Just got my 951 last week, and am eager to "personalize" it.

Sorry to repond like this, but those pedals are gawd awful. But, if it fits your styling tastes, you could buy the same set in the rice section of your local parts store.

Man, i have seen these exact pedals at Kmart and Walmart for less than what they are selling for on Ebay. I noticed this a few months ago. I am seriously considering doing a buyout at the local Walmart and trying to resell these on Ebay for a profit...people seem to really want these things as they are always being bid on.

If your current pedals are ratty, just get a replacement set of rubber covers. I got mine for about $6 shipped, they make it look a lot better, and I can now drive in the rain since my foot doesn't slide offf the clutch.

Im not into teh carbon fiber look. I think those would look alot better if it was just straight stainless or brushed alum.
