Brabus or other aluminum pedals

Anyone out there have any aftermarket metal pedals on their car? Know that Brabus and some others make them for 451's. Any sources here in the US? IMO, the factory pedals look a lot like those on airport rent-a-car busses!

Haha! I had the same though! Unfortunately, those Brabus pedals are out of my league.

I saw the pedals at my smart dealer for $209. Then I was in AutoZone the next day and they had generic ones (too bad for bigger pedals) that sell for $19.95. I wonder why Brabus thinks theirs is worth their weight in gold - because we will buy that stuff and not shop around.

I installed Brabus pedals in my smartie and I really like the look they add to the car.

We will soon be releasing pedal covers in a couple of different designs. I can assure you that they will be MUCH more realistically priced than the Brabus covers.

OK I'm waiting but hurry up I almost pulled the trigger on the Brabus pedals. Also what about E. Brake handle and boot cover?

All of that is coming, plus more. Brabus parts are nice, but man, I'd find it really hard to pay the prices they ask. Hang in there.
