Default Brake and Clutch Pedal help

Does anyone make a brake and clutch pedal pad that is less slippery than the stock aluminum ones? Whenever my shoes/sneakers are wet, I have to be super careful with the clutch pedal. Good fitting rubber covers would be ideal, but I can't seem to find any searching on the internet.

Being only 5'6" was a problem for me with the clutch. I bought a clutch pedal extension and that allowed me to move the seat back a couple inches and still get the clutch pedal to the floor. It is made out of plastic and I never had problems with my foot slipping off the pedal.

I have the grid/satin pedals on mine. I drive mine in the rain (shocker) so I know what you mean.

ttx, I drive in the rain often. Did the grid satin pedal texture help with slipperiness in the wet weather?

Yeah, I bought a set of the grid satin pedal covers after almost running into the Super 8 in Bowling Green after washing my car near the front entrance. Left foot slipped off the clutch (wet) and the car lurched towards the motel wall. Resolved that a few days after I got home as the pedal covers were sitting here, just hadn't installed them prior to the trip back to the Oshkosh Air Show, then down to BG to see the plant and museum, then it was off to TX for a week before heading back to WA. Great trip.

GM makes a pedal cover set made of rubber or synthetic. I've had them on two Z06's. Best option IMO.
