wow, I didn't even know they were allowed to use any plastic for pedals?

...in fact, I thought the DOT had a LAW that forces the brake pedal of a car to be able to withstand a specific amount of pressure/force. I know that this is a throttle pedal, but wouldn't the same rule apply?

Yeah, its the gas pedal and not the brake pedal. I'm sure if it was the brake pedal, the owner would've been a lot more pissed off

I don't even comprehend the use of plastic there.... makes no sense at all.

Another reason not to buy an evo.

I think the brake pedal on my R32 is plastic. I was down there putting a pedal cover that flew off back on and was like WTF, over?
