Skepticism.

That's all I had when I ordered these last year. But to my surprise these are quality machined polished aluminum pedals that each fit perfectly. Yes I had to drill a bunch of holes but I am damn satisfied with the results. More wet grip, heel-toeing had become easier and they just look amazing.

They are neither designed nor manufactured by Mugen.

Ebay! But whoever did design them was not screwing around. And for $30 if you own a MT R18, I would put this at the top of your mod list. All hardware is included. Just don't install the footrest or drill into the throttle pedal if you have a lease, the clutch and brake have rubber wraparound pads so no one will know/care.

I screwed the new footrest right into the plastic/carpet of the stock footrest. Removed the stock rubber pads from the clutch & brake pedals and drilled three holes into each of the pedals using a silver sharpie as a marker and progressively bigger drill bits to get through the tough medal. Make sure you don't drill a hole bigger than the nut. Clutch and brake go together with three nuts and bolts each. The only hiccup I had was the throttle pedal. I got the holes in just fine, but unless you have kitten sized hands and ball-jointed wrists it's impossible to get the nut onto the bolt because it's a grand canyon of plastic compartments used to reinforce the pedal itself. So I just double-sided-sticky-taped it on and put a dab of glue on the neck of the alan bolt to keep it from popping out.

Each of the pedals are solid. They don't wiggle around, rattle, slide etc.

I don't usually condone cheap-china-replica products (probably just this and my dome lights), but I highly recommend this product despite the connotations of being "fake". Yes it's falsely branded and made/shipped from china (which took forever to get here), but I assure you, you won't be dissatisfied.

I've seen those all over eBay and thought the same thing as you that they were crap but thanks for the review and like SiCoupe said it looks nice. I've been looking at installing a footrest pedal, so you just screwed it on top of the original plastic cover?

Yea I just screwed it right in, the stock footrest pad I bet is ruined but I don't plan on ever removing it.
