Oem pedals are just too slippery when wet. Has anyone changed them out, and what brand? Pics if you have them.

When I opened your post, I was actually wondering when GM started building flowers into the vette. I thought maybe the Museum was going over the top with R8C. By the time the post opened I realized you were talking about pedals and I recognized that late hours and advancing age are a bad combo for reading on the forum.

So good night and good luck in your search for replacement pedals. By the way, I agree that they are definitely slippery when wet!

GotVett?

I have Elite Engineering's pedals which I bought directly from them. You can go to their site and find out more info. Here's a pic of mine . . .



. . . and a closeup of them on johnodrake's vette, which he posted on another thread.

I ordered a set from Sullivan Racing, I looked around and really couldnt find a better deal on the 4 pc system. I called them up and got a very good feeling about the quality of their work. Especially when that is all they have done for 13 years is make pedals. I am still waiting for my order because I just placed it last week and will update you guys on the progress

any benefits to the change or is it purely cosmetic ? just wondering.

You might also look at the CG "Racing Pedals". I did the diamond grid pattern...they look great and really improve the "stickiness" of the pedals. Install is pretty easy, but there are advantages for contortionists.

I have the elite set and they work fine.

GotVette? Great car, I like the vette flag console.

I hear you! I really try and dry my feet when I get in the vette. If it becomes too much of a bother, you could use some aviation wing walk paint on the pedals. It is non-skid. Available at many aviation sites, such as Sporty's or Aircraft Spruce.

Yeah I deserved that, late night... Hehehe

Not that I drive the car in the "rain"... But more so after washing her.

Nice picture!

Mind if I jump into the thread with a question. Does anyone make a rubber pedal cover for the clutch? I'm looking to go the easy way out on this?

Here's a picture of my stock clutch that I modified with some bolts:

This took pressure off of a neuroma on the bottom of my foot. After the foot healed, I left the bolts for better grip. (and slightly shorter reach)

It never rains here so I don't know how it would work when wet. But I'd bet with a little thought and some rubber grommets or something, one could modify the stock pedal for wet grip.

Ok, Hoonose, I'll bite. WTF is a Zim dollar? (in your avatar)

Hoonose

I forgot about that avatar. I change them from time to time for entertainment sake, but I have them turned off in my preferences.
The 'Zim' refers to the currency of Zimbabwe.
