this intrests me because i used to skate when i was younger and i collect 80's skateboards now.. i was thinking of expanding this idea (who cares if you redo it once a year? really? its friggen CHEAP) to include using some old-school skateboarding stickers - or maybe a thrasher sticker cut into 3 peices - with CLEAR griptape on it... duhno.. anyway - my wife and i are totally old school skaters, and we ps - cons or old school vans/airwalks make kickass driving shoes! great comboroni - friggen RAD

That would be sweet, I would however go with a phat a$$ Indy sticker though. place the iron cross on the brake pedal and work from there.
p.s.s. cons are not worth the money they charge now days. But they are O.G.

I definitely go for an Audi TT pedal set. At the dealer in the Netherlands about 25 euro! Fits perfect!

yeah, i might do this. I have a roll of good tape at home.

[16v dubber]

i did this in my old gti. loved it.

[Gr8mafy]

I did this when I was up in NH while it was snowing out.. wet feet and pedals wasn't working out. to someone else who has this done. Mine need to be replaced right about now though

Chap, way to bump a 2+ year old thread!?

Thought about doing this a while back....I'd imagine it works quite well.

HaHa, my pedals, best $20 spent evar.

Here is another option, it is an anti-slip aerosol spray..... One can could last for many reapplications if necessary. It comes in multiple colors and even clear..

I havent done it yet but I am going to try it out, it should be easier to apply than tape.. not sure about the durability but its worth a shot.

did this already last summer...still is holding up for almost a year worth of daily thrashing...

[carolinaGTI]

lol didnt i sell you those last year sometime? anyway had a set just like em

I currently rock hot pink grip tape (only need it on the clutch) ive used it for like 6 months or more, and only had to change it like 2 weeks ago for the first time, and it still had plenty of grip when i got rid of the first one. wet feet no problem

no...bought them off of the classifieds for $15 shipped...

[carolinaGTI]

yep that was me ...used a different name then the one i have now. the powder coat job on them wasnt great correct? had a few bubbles/bulges?
anyway they look great w/ that non skid coat. i like the tecture of it. might spray my intake w/ it

that may be a good idea although it will only last at most a year. but grip tap is cheap so right on

So is replacement pedal rubber, lasts longer too

griptape is so much better than the rubber though..
You could do like 10 sets of pedals with one sheet of Jessup..
I found some APC Pedal covers for $5 at a local Advance

[carolinaGTI]

all things tape are cool....grip tape, duct-tape, Gorilla tape, paris hilton sex tape , the list never ends

[GTI Mama]

I thought I was the only one with this problem!!

He was mocking the OP's thread title. Rather than DIY it is DYI.

... its sad when you can't see the typo you know is there after it's been pointed out

How about some plastic pedals to cut down on the weight?

[Pablo_san2]

Man it was $7 at Phase II for a full sheet.... You lied to me.... Thus your thread is crap....

Na Just playin!! I did this when I first got my coupe and realized the metal pedals suck in snow/rain; Props!

[Pablo_san2]

AWESOME!!

[DOHC91GLI]

I did this a LONG time ago. upwards of two years ago using 3m Industrial non skid tape. still holding up like a champ. looks new as the day I put it on.
