Question about gas pedals. I can't stand this rubber wobblely pedal thing. Would one of those cool aluminum VW pedals fit? the ones with the aluminum hinges? I saw Dick Antoine's car have one, or something similar to it on his car.
HMm... let me find a pic of one. |

Hmm, I thought about a door hinge also. Where would I find one of these pedals?

I have the AJ-USA pedals too. Like 'em a lot.
The factory gas pedal on my car was completely shot when I bought it, so that gave me all the excuse I needed to upgrade to the sporty looking alloy ones (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

yeah, I like those alot. That gas pedal is all I want. I like how it's all aluminum or whatever, and is all hinged too, so it "shouldn't" rust out and get wobblely

If the bushings in your pedal cluster are not fresh your throttle pedal will wobble more than it should. New bushings tighten things up a lot.
