On the subject of Metal pedal covers - DESIGN OPTIONS

Post by **norks27** » Tue Apr 17, 2018 11:03 pm

Whilst trying to source something for the footrest/dead pedal, I came across a civic forum post.
The company, upon request, made up a bespoke metallic cover:

The one I saw in the photo on the forum had a TypeR logo in the middle and slightly different hole layout.
The design was made for the forum members upon request.

Their website:

http://autocovr.com/

Was thinking of dropping them an email given how hard it is to source OEM stuff.

Would anyone else be interested?
I'd email them with the idea of a discount for multiple orders, if there was interest?

Just need exact dimensions of the foot rest.
I can email 5th and 4th gen details.

Ideally would like consensus on design before I see if they'll create something for the Lude.

Thoughts people?

Prelude lettering across middle in both 4th gen and 5th gen font, as in 2 versions of the plate.
Are they the same dimenions?
Or at the bottom?
Hole layout?

P.S. let me know if tacky idea

Lo
I've never really seen the point of snazzy pedals ?
Mostly because they are pretty much hidden from most people's view ?
Although saying that the sort after door sills are only visible when the doors are open

Only my opinion guy's

Cheers

It can make heel and toe a little easier I'd guess, I can't do it very well on the standard pedals so a bigger accelerator would make it much easier

Also consider me interested.

its not about them looking good mate its about getting a really good grip on them and adjusting them as you fit them to aid in left foot breaking, heel and toe and general ''at speed' control. for example I am now able to heel/toe easily whereas the OE placement makes it hard without boots on.
