Hey all got bored a lil while back n decided to fit "race" pedals, just skateboard grip tape over the factory pedals. Very simple mod that can be done in 5 mins with basic tools n little skill.

WHAT IS NEEDED
- grip tape ($10 gets you a board size sheet)
- spanner
- razor



Ok first thing is first, remove factory rubber grips off the clutch n brake pedals


then cut pieces of grip tape a slightly larger than the pedal and remove the backing


apply the grip tape to the pedal evenly to make sure there are no air bubbles


now grab your spanner and score the edges of the pedal to get the ensure the edges are firmly stuck to the pedal


trim the excess grip tape using a razor


and that is all there is to it, just need to repeat the process for the rest of the pedals


and here is the finished product

each to their own

i like jessup tape personally its decent qual -good adhesion compared to other brands and grit is good too hard wearing n plenty of grip during wet days

this write up is awsome

i've been doin it to my cars for years now too the range of griptape colours n patterns is cool these days too so ya can change up the look easy as

nice been wanting to do it but havent had teh time to find the grip tape

this is a awesome idea seeing as how my pedal covers are worn smooth from 265K miles

it also would help if you cleaned the metal surface with laquer/paint thinner before applying the tape

prepping the surface with thinners isn't really that necessary on the pedals, it can be done if you choose to.

This is a great idea, would have so much grip.

But what if it's raining, and your shoes are a bit damp?
