Where can I find TRD pedal covers?

I've found several pictures on the net of TRD pedal covers installed, but can't find anyone that sells them. Anyone know where I can find these? Thanks.

Hey I'm interested too. When I wheel and my shoes/pedals are wet, I have some trouble with my feet slipping around. Something with some more grip would really help out. Either the TRD pedal covers, or some other sweet grippy ones.

I'd love some too. Found these OEM Toyota Corolla TRD on ebay (for auto trans).

if you need a bit more traction throw on some grit safety tape in spaced horizontal strips on your pedals. Those aftermarket/sport pedals are usually more metal than rubber making them much more slick.

But they look awesome, and grip tape would look ghetto.

I'm looking for better grip. If I can find one that grips better than OEM and looks good, great, if not, I'll try the grip tape mod

I got your point 100%. IMHO,pPedals (unlike other "cosmetic" accesories) should always focus on function over form. A great looking pedal that's slippery when your feet are wet does no good to anyone.

I wonder if the OBX sport pedals are any good? www.trdparts4u.com sells them for $31.05

I haven't seen any pedals that look as nice as the TRD ones (and ya gotta love the TRD logo at the bottom), but I've looked everywhere and believe that TRD must not make them anymore.

Yea I saw those OBX sport pedals on ebay, but like Mikestang said, I haven't seen any that looked better than the TRD ones. I'll have to see if strap22 can get those. If not, I think some grip tape is an excellent idea!

I believe the OBX pedal covers simply 'slip on', or perhaps attach with clips.

If you're going to go with better pedals / covers, you're better off getting something that attaches firmly (i.e., with screws / bolts).

Another note.... Just because there's rubber on the pedal doesn't necessarily mean it gives better traction. One vendor advised me they'd removed the OMP rubber inserts listing from their website because they found the (hard) rubber plugs actually made the pedals _slicker_ than the raw knobbly cast aluminum.

Both Sparco and MOMO offer pedal models with integrated rubber grips.
