Hey, not a bad idea. My foot slips on my stock pedals sometimes if my shoes are wet. I don't think my foot would be slipping on those things!

Yeah its griptape I got from a local skate shop. My old pedals were a mess and I had the same problem with my feet slipping in the rain. So I just decided that this would be the cheapest fix.

lmao that i actually recognized that stuff the $6 price seemed familiar to me as well...lol

with dry shoes, my pedals are fine, but should you happen to step in a puddle, forget it; it feels like the clutch pedal is coated with oil.

do they work well when wet?
lol cool idea

Great idea. I have a set of cheap Autozone covers on mine (I know, I know...) with serrated surface. They are good in the rain. I want the aluminum Ford Racing ones but those would be extremely slick when wet.
I'll keep the grip tape in mind. Thanks!

Nice idea. My shoes always slip off when they are wet... Kind of makes for an embarrassing time when backing out of a parking spot or taking off from a light and the foot slips off the clutch... lmao

Lol I guess I'm not the only one with a slippery left foot. I haven't tried them wet yet, but I'll make sure to post when I do.

Its official! They work great in all weather. It didn't rain last night, but I made sure to step in a big puddle near my car with both feet to try them out. No slip at all!
