I saw these padels on the Moparonlineparts.com site and wonder if anyone tried them? Looks like the go padel is wider and makes it easier to heel-and-toe. Speaking of heel-and-toe, I never had issues w/ heel-and-toe in my Gen 4, but the brake pedal on my Gen 5 is quite a bit higher than the gas pedal and make things difficult for me. I currently has a gas padel extension added but that raises the gas pedal too much, so wonder if these pedal are the way to go.

They are absolute junk.

Cast aluminum, mfg in Taiwan or China. Powdercoated or painted with very cheap looking silver paint.

Certainly not a machined face like all the sema pics imply.

I returned them. No way they spent more than $15 making them. At $225 I'd take the oe pedals to be machined into the shape I want.

As far as mounting heights, the mopar set would be the same as stock. They have a more contoured face and the surface is very slick.

Thanks for the warning...

All the detail goes away because the paint was pretty thick, so it softens the look of the Stryker image.

By all means, I had hopes of them at least being CNC finished/machined face like the Sema show/product pictures seem to indicate.

I know some people may like them, but it really seemed an insult to put them on the car. I can't imagine why they would take the time to release some junk like this, but not the PCM. I wouldn't let these touch my Dart if I owned one.

Now bear in mind I have a red car, I just bought another pair of these on the bay, Price.....peanuts, fit is not great, you leave the existing rubber pads on the pedals then simply screw the 4 tabs of each pedal tight which pulls the pedal down onto the face of the rubber pads.

The anodised / painted coating does not last, but who cares for the price :) $7.50

Here's what the Silver ones look like on the car

I got a set based on the factory photo above. I thought they would be CNC stainless steel somewhat like the other Mopar pedal upgrades I've gotten for my Challenger and Charger. The crummy powder coat look really threw me back as it was nothing close to what I was expecting. I put them on anyway because it only takes a couple of minutes. Even though the finish is nothing great, they do look pretty good when installed and a definite improvement compared to the stock pedals. I don't do heal and toe so I can't answer that question.
