Pedal replacement
Alright guys first off I really didnt know where to put this so I just put it here. I was reading on how stuff works.com about the lotus elise and saw the pedals that are in the car and I was like

Don't you mean CLUE
Anyhoo... to get back on subject... Lotus generally has stripped down stuff for wieght reduction, and it looks like the pedals are no exception. I don't really know what the big woo hoo is about the pedals, but sure you can make it work somehow...
What I would look into is taking the pads off of the existing pedals, and sanding the paint off, to get the steel finish. Then you may need to fabricate a new steel pad of some sort... Good luck man.

Rep Power: 309 I think it's a good lesson to just not be a pot head...
but anyhoo....
Yes.. if you visit your local pep boys rice shop section there are like a million aftermarket PAD replacements that you can buy and velco onto your existing pedals...
but What you want to do, will have to be fabricated. Especially if you want the stems to look like those...
Like I said b4 if you like the Steel Finish, try just sanding the paint off of the existing pedals and a steel finish pad replacement... It won't look exactly like the picture but will have the same finish.

Rep Power: 425 Between Sparco, Momo, OMP, and the many others that make metal drill in pedal covers, you should be able to find something that matches that pattern pretty close. As far as an exact match, not without a lot of custom work that I doubt is worth it.
thats real custom work if you want something like that... heck the ones that i am selling dont even look close to those.. but it looks like the gas pedeal will slip on you if your coming in from tha rain or something

Rep Power: 0 Why. You really can't see the pedals, unless it's a show car, then you could probably get a custom pedal assembly made. check some of the hot rod magazines, there are off the shelf custom ones availabe.
All right I know about the pedal covers, I did the grey's diy pedals from aluminum. Just kind of getting tired of those. I dont want some pedals exactly like those from the elise like the way they mount and all that stuff I know thats basicly impossible unless you're an engineer or something. I just want to know do they have a replacement assembly the pedal arm and everything not just a cover?

Rep Power: 413 ok, well the purpose of the pedals in the lotus and the shitty pedal covers we have a serve a totally different purpose. Race cars set the pedals so they line up in a horizontal line. That makes it easier to use heal and toe, and to use other foot techniques while racing. Any passenger car wasn't built that way. The lotus pedals are designed to make it easier to race and perform complex foot movements to improve racing times. They are also billet and lightweight to save weight. You will need a lot of custom work to get your pedals like that.
