Default Ultimate Pedals

Just got a set of pedals for my automatic C70. They are custom made for the car. Total of $196 shipped. I'll post pics next week.

Here are the pedals installed. I chose the shiny finish, but after I installed the pedals, I think the non-shiny finish would match the C70's interior aluminum inserts better. The provided screws are not the best quality and don't look good. I'll buy some after-market stainless square screws/bolts that will look a lot better.

As for functionality, the foot rest is a lot better and stable with the new cover, it also keeps your shoe off of the carpet. The other pedals just look better.

The problem with those TECH is that your feet slip off them...................at the wrong moment!

I dissagree about the auto tranny! If we were driving a Porshe or any two-seat sport car I would agree with you. The C70 is not even close to a sport car, it a cool looking family convertible. You should see me with the top down and my kids in the back in their car seats. That's why I bought it, not for carving the canyons/curves, you bought the wrong vehicle if thats your intended purpose.

I'm with you Joe!! A manual is the only way to go.....................I mean, my generation, that's all we had!! With that stated however, my c-70 is an auto but rest assured I also shift gears through a Hartge/Getrag transmission in a Hartge H-3.
