I have the 07 mazda3 s-touring 5spd. I'm looking to purchase aftermarket aluminum pedals. Know where I can get a good price for good ones, and directions on how to replace the rubber pedals?
thanks!
thanks!

I've got a set of the AutoVation pedals and love them. They're a bit pricey, but they were exactly what I was looking for.

They're drill-in, but the install didn't seem to be as bad as a lot of people made it out to be. It may be because the AutoVations use self-tapping screws on the gas pedal intead of a bolt/nut combo, though.

i tried the pedal covers that slip ontop of the stock pedals, and use braces to stay in place. it may have been me being in a hurry, but I couldnt get the gas pedal brackets to clasp on anywhere, so i returned them. Its a shame, too, because they're nice looking, and real cheap.

and dangerous. I don't like pedal covers because of an experience i had in my saturn while using some. The bolts / clamps caused the brake to not depress as far as it could and i nearly rear-ended someone because of it. Another time, i went to slam the brakes and the cover slid off the brake pedal, leaving my foot somewhere other than on the brakes.

I agree, they're a little pricey but well worth it. Drilling the brake pedal was the hardest for me. Everything else wasn't as bad. They look awesome.

I'm getting that exact set at some point this summer. My feet keep sliding around on the rubber pedals during winter :(
Though next time I buy from falcontx, I'm getting a credit card first. Waiting after paypal is a bitch :p

The autovation set is awesome but snow is snow. I live in WI and when your shoes are wet and cover in snow, they're gonna slide no matter what. I normally wear freaking dress shoes for work but haven't had any problems with them sliding bad anyways.

My autovation set has done pretty well through the winter. It's definitely helped reduce foot slippage due to grit coming along with snow, though. Those little circular "rims" on the pedal do more than help you grip. They may have actually helped me stay on the brake pedal when a guy driving in front of me slammed on his brakes on the beltway. Granted, that didn't stop the car behind me from plowing into my bumper, but I got stopped without hitting anything...
