Aluminum pedals for manual transmission?
#1
#2
I've kept an eye open for them for the last year and a half. No sightings. With only ~350 units being built each year, it will be a long time before MT specific aftermarket items become available, if ever.

They can also carve in a leaper, a Jag face or an R or S logo in the middle. Smooth, frosted, or grip finish, with or without rubber nibs. Totally custom. They can do matching aluminum heel pads as well! They can curve the gas pedal like Ferrari and add a heel/toe flange if so desired. Better yet, get together a group buy for all manual and or auto owners and see what kind of pricing he'll do for us.
He's a good cat to work with. I'd be happy to contact him for the forum but you need to provide me the clutch and brake pedal dimensions.

Starting an interest list here and now...
Please state manual or auto, dead pedal y or no, heel guard 1, 2 or zero. I'll approach with our requests and post our discount.
We did this in the M3 forum several years ago and I think we got 20% off and free shipping.
Polaris. Auto, dp, 2 hg.
Please cut and paste the list and add your interest so it's all in one place.

I'm down to join a potential group buy. Here's the list so far:
polarisnavyxj: Auto, dead plate, 2 heel guards, ?? finish.
99Gsp: Manual, dead plate, 0 heel plates, smooth finish with domed inserts.
Inspector-G: Manual, no dead plate, 0 heel plates, satin anti-slip with domed inserts
If anyone else wants to get in, copy and paste that list with your options added at the end!
EDIT: I changed from shiny to satin to match the shift knob FYI.

Just a note.
For the M3, he made us these custom plates that perfectly fit the driver and passenger floor plan with a 3" border around the plate of floor. Basically these replace the floor mats. Then he embossed an "M3" logo in the middle. They were very nice and you get to keep your mats new. I think you'd like them

Yes. The reason I went with satin finish is that it ties in with the top of the shift knob. Otherwise ,not much in the way of metallic finish in my car.

For Auto owners
We have a cheaper option.
$120 we can get a Auto set with two heel mats. $30 for the standard set alone.
I'll wait to see the deal we get at UP then make a decision based on price difference. UP will be way nicer but at 4 times more money I'll think on it after my car arrives.
Heres the Auto set option...

Oohhh that's a smart move. Switching mine to satin for the same reason!
