:badgrin: And I mean ultimate. None of your cheap 'one size fits none' sheet ally crap here. Check out my new CNC machined, 5mm thick custom pedals all the way from the States. I made up a template and emailed it to Ultimate to make up the footrest. The other two pedals are 'Diamante' pedals and so go straight onto our Magnas.
If you settled for cheap pedals, look at these suckers and weep

Just don't the Erik former member, apparently had his foot slip off the pedals and rear ends a car, something along those lines.
Apart from that, the pedals look good.

Do you have the template available to hand out? How much did it cost in total, including delivery?
if you were to get some rubber spikes in the spare holes it would be ok to pass a safty cert in qld.

If i remember correctly his were "padels" not pedals so you should be fine...

I believe he hit a "toll bar" because of his "damned ricer padels".
Yours look pretty high quality, but yer, need to have rubber on them or "grippy spike things" if you get my drift.

Hello ladies and gentlemen. Today whilst I was driving on the freeway, I was silly enough to hit the accelerator instead of the brake and ran into the person in front's tow bar.
It happened at the exit of the freeway. I then proceeded to exit my vehicle in an orderly fashion whilst I then proceeded to inspect the damage that occured to both automobiles. I now have a circular indentation on my front bumper. My reasoning behind this accident is due to my aftermarket foot pedals. I promptly removed them from the vehicle. My brakes completely failed when I was trying to slow my vehicle (maybe because your foot was on the accelerator?). No damage was aquired on the ladies car all thanks to her tow bar. I will not be repairing my indentation due to the fact that I just recieved a NEW bumper bar which was only fixed a few months back. Now if I repair this bumper again, it is highly probable that some other form of indentation could occur. I do not believe that I struck any part of the vehicle that is of major significance. I have been driving the vehicle around and it feels fine.

why is it that all the cool looking stuff for cars is illegal!?
its almost as if they dont want us to do anything to our cars (wait.. they dont!)
liking the pedals - i love the little mitsi emblem detail in the middle of each one as well.
as asked above - how much did they set ya back inc delivery/postage ?

Cost $284.16 AUD. Postage $37AUD. All took one week from placing order to arriving at my home.
Legality is in fact not an issue - have you seen the factory pedals on a GT3 or and F360 or F599?? All alloy, no rubber inserts. The ones I have are an engraved anti slip surface anyway. And I am actually finding them way more grippy than the worn smooth finish rubber OEM items.
But if all that really worries you, note that Ultimate also do versions with rubber grip inserts. Hey, it's America - you can get anything you want :)
Yes, I still have the template that I made up for the footrest. If anyone wants a copy then PM me. But Rob at Ultimate now has the template ready to reuse, so you shouldn't need it. If you place an order just ask for "a RHD Diamante footrest the same as Martin's from Australia". But email him first before you order.

I'm a fan... those look really nice.
how much do they weigh? are they comparable in weight to the original rubber ones? I'm assuming you can get whatever you want etched into the middle of them?
they're now on my list of mods wanted.
cheers,

Don't know exact weight. But I can tell you that when I removed the brake and accel pads, the new ones weighed less than the rubber pads :shock:
And if you supply the design, you can have anything you like etched into them.
