Question GT3 sport pedals???

Any GT3 owner's upgrade their pedals with the brushed aluminum ones? I looked at Carnewal, but they did not have anything specifically tailored for the GT3. The GT3 logo would be nice on them like the ones that say "turbo".

Any other pedal replacement manufacturers to check out??? Their standard P96 pedals looked kind of "chincey". Thanks.

How about the RUFs? I've got 'em and I love 'em. The rubber nubs really help with grip no matter what type of shoes I'm wearing.

It always amazed me how Porsche never upgraded from regular pedals....even my Audi TT Roadster had aluminum pedals standard.

The RUF pedals were the first mod on my 996...now I'm waiting on Gert for my Aluminum steering wheel.

Good luck with your GT3!

I've also replaced my GT3 stock pedals with the Ruf. They add a nice touch and I find it easier to heel-toe with them. I don't know of any pedal with the GT3 logo. Carnewal's are the same or very similar to Ruf but have no logo's. Maybe you could get those and have a local engraving shop put the GT3 logo on them.

I got mine from Weissach, I think they were $400 for the 3 pedals and dead pedal. The accelerator and dead pedal are real easy to install. All you need is a drill. The clutch and brake are a little harder because they are metal and curved surfaces, so the drill bit tends to want to walk away from the intended spot. I used a small punch to start the hole but other have clamped the pedal covers to the pedals and used them as a drill guide. Also, don't over torque the little bolts on the curved pedals, they are easy to snap.

Yes ByDesign I saw them at the Autofest, but they are actually cargraphic pedals. With the GT3 logo.

Yeah, Cargrahic seems to have it going on. Could not find them on the Bydesign site. They don't seem to post many pics of the products they sell. They could use a web designer...anyways here are the pics of the GT3 pedal kit and the link...
