Pedals and taillights

So a couple random things...

1)Pedals. My feet keep slipping off the clutch now that it's snowy and wet all the time. Are there are pedals on the market that grip, and enhance the ability to heel/toe in our cars? I did a little searching, and it looks like the GMPP ones grip well but don't raise the accelerator at all. So those are my fallback if I can't find anything, but I'd rather find something that accomplishes both things.

2)Taillights. My cars previous owner did a (shitty) job painting my jails. The circles aren't circular, they're chipping, they look like hell. I like the LED tails on the market, but I absolutely refuse to pay 300 dollars for taillights, when I paid only 300 for projector headlights and the HIDs to go with them. Stock replacements are looking to cost me between 125 and 150 on ebay and in junkyards. Does anyone have any suggestions of cheap websites, or maybe selling yours?

Thanks for the help.

Taillight problem solved. Any suggestions on the pedals?

I've heard they don't improve the ability to heel toe because it keeps the accelerator at stock height. I'm hoping for a set that will raise the gas pedal up a bit.

As you can see, he painted parts of the tails black. Well, they aren't perfect circles, and the edges are chipping so they look really bad.

However, after I posted this cougar IMed me with the link to a set of smoked LED tails for 150, so I'm going to get those.
