Are pedals removable?

Im thinking about buying a new set of pedals for my car but im wondering if the stock pedals can be removed or do i have to find a set of pedals that just wrap around the originials? thanks for taking the time to read and reply.

DIY for removing stock pedals off 5 speed:
1) grab stock rubber pedals
2) peel them off
3) add new pedals
*edit * o yea..accel pedal doesnt come off i think

I just installed some Nokya brushed aluminum/chrome billet pedal covers over my stock pedals. They're good quality and they look good.

When you take into account that out of the several hundred thousand civics sold each year, only a small percentage(1-5%) of people are customizing them. Most people who own civics would say "the car already has pedals - why would I want to spend money replacing something that works perfectly fine and will last the life of the car." Majority of civic owners are concerned with spending as little as possible on transportation. Since this is the case, I don't think Honda would invest in a more customizable civic since their core customer base($$$) could care less.


are bought to be reliable, economical transportation.

I think that all the pedals in modern cars aren't removable. Think it has to do with safety. The brake pedal is actually one of the strongest part of a car.

I made my own pedels drilled holes in the stock nice thing about is that if i dont like the custom pedels anymore i just put the rubber covers back on and you cant tell anything was ever done.
