I hear ya, but imo if your so close that a momentary slip makes you crash... you're following to close

And like raven said, those grip points look almost the same size as the ones on the stock pedals.

Lastly, I don't really make a habit of driving with wet feet :l

Those pedals would match my Sparco Globe-X shift knob nicely, but when it rains in Charleston my feet obviously get wet and there is nothing worse than feet slipping off the pedals! Let me know how they work out for you because I might just pick up a set if they not too much of a pain in the ass.

I've Had Momo Pedals for almost 2 years Now & Love them, People said the same thing about slipping off & it never Happened. Me & LsjPup both are running them & Never had Problems, Yes I have drove with wet feet they take that into account when making the pedals so they do have grip unless you buy Cheap 1s. Oh & You might have to cut your gas Pedal to get the new 1 to cover it!
Keep up the Modding!

Awesome!

I don't mind modifying the stocker a little bit for fitment issues, I got plenty of tools

Can't wait for the sparco's to get in, they have that "Ooh shiiiiiney" aspect. I was always plannin' on getting pedals, but I didn't want ones that looked completely retarded, and I saw these and they look simple, elegant, and should match my silver balt completely.

Can't wait to see some pics of these once you get them installed. Let us know how they are and how the install goes.

I made a how-to on this awhile back showing how to mount them, But it is pretty straight forward!
