Default Vette Essentials Pedals

I'm considering installing the Vette Essentials pedals. Does anyone have any experience with these or other aftermarket pedals? Quality, ease of installation, match to existing clutch and brake pedals?

Thanks.

Jeff,

Check out: http://www.eliteengineeringusa.com/

They have what you are looking for. They also have the jacking pucks and the Window Valet.

Let me know how you and the new car are doing

I did a review on these when they first came out #1 stuff and about $20 less. Also the elite gas extends to the left for better heal to toe shifting

Hi Bill,

I looked at the Elites and others but the Vette Essentials seem to be a better visual match but I'm just looking at the online photos. The VE's are more expensive of course.

I'm loving my Corvette. 1800 miles so far. Daily driver. Me and 400 ft-lbs of torque are quite happy.

So how's it with you?

Jag, the top pic is the vette essentials pedals. The gas pedal is smaller and the dead pedal is more squared off.

Just installed my Elite's over the weekend...let me tell you, I was one of the ones with a "difficult" pin holding the gas pedal in...took me over 3 hours to finish it...I tried everything...2 pairs of vice grips, 3 different size screwdrivers, a chisel...nothing worked...finally I was so mad I literally broke the plastic gas pedal off (by bending it back and forth) exposing the metal pin and with a larger pair of vice grips managed to pull it out...otherwise I don't know how I would've gotten it done...

But otherwise the pedals look great now that they're in...and I'm glad that I won't have to do that again...

Thanks guys, I think this will be my next mod.
In one of the "Customer pics" on thier site, I saw a Z51 badge. I got all excited, thinking maybe they made those also..... No such luck.
