pedal covers

[xtascox]

I was looking at a set of pedal pads at advance auto a while back and it seemed like the clutch and brake covers would fit fine. But looking at the gas pedal pad compared to the massive plastic pedal in my mystique made me wonder if it would work. I did some searching on the forums but I didn't see anything linke this. Can anybody point me toward some pedals that will work or maybe if this type will? They were the same as these except red and black

Blegh...don't get cheapo generic clamp-on pedal covers, they look and fit terrible. Either get custom fit bolt-on covers or leave them alone. If Mystique pedals are the same as Contour ones, which I would imagine they are Autovation makes good aluminum covers. http://www.autovationparts.com/store/fordcontour.html

Or you can get really lucky and score a cheap and brand new set of these babies from someone on here. (Autovation was forced to stop engraving them so these are rare.)

These are what i have. They are very nice pedal covers. They were a pain in the butt for me to install because you have to drill a hole in the pedal, and i had a cheap 7v drill to work with

the only problem i have with the Autovation pedal covers is there are no grips on them. if your shoes are even the slightest bit wet they will slide off the pedals.

I've never heard anyone complain of that. Did you get the same ones as pictured above or a different style? (They offer a few)

Not once has my foot slipped on the pedals and I've heard other CEGers say thats part of the reason why they love the Autovation pedals, very grippy.

I like those alot, I think I'll pick my self up some. And just to make sure that the contour gas pedal is the same. Is it one solid plastic piece that goes all the way up to the throttle cable?

I do have that problem sometimes. I just make sure my shoes are fairly dry. Besides that though I still think they are the best pedals out there.

i dont have autovation pedals but i have driven a car that had them. try heel/toe downshifting with wet shoes on. it doesnt work so well. my foot constantly slipped off the brake pedal. i personally have the cheap autozone "crap". if you take the time to actually fit them properly then the fit is just fine. the gas pedal is difficult and you will have to mount them like the autovation pedals for it. i have found that my pedals offer significantly more grip than the autovation set i drove on. but thats just my opinion.

Interesting...I've never had a problem with slipping, even wearing really old shoes with no texture on the soles and wet. The Autovation pedals have raised aluminum rings where the holes are, and they really grab your shoes. I don't think I'd want to drive on them barefoot! Heel & toeing is actually possible with these since the gas pedal has extra material on the left side, and I haven't had a problem with slipping.

And yes, the Contour gas pedal is solid plastic all the way up and has a slight angle back near the top of the pedal, as you can see in the pic. If the Mystique is like that these should be fine. You drill your own holes anyway.

but why would you do covers when you could simply replace the contique pedals with those nice drilled ones out of a late model cougar???? simple to do, plug and play, no drilling required, the hardest thing is to take off the gas pedal assembly and replace it with the cougar one. add the dead pedal if you like. score a set at your local you-pull-it and you're good to go!
