yup
I got em from OPTIONS auto salon. I had them on my previous Y2KGS platinum.
Only problem is that who ever drives it must be VERY CAREFUL!!!! the pedals end up lining up very close to each other. SO when you step on the brake your foot is also on the GAS pedal. I have hit both by accident about 10 X . I hope you have small feet if you wanna do this mod. But seriuosly If you ever need someone to drive your car like ex. (parking attendent,taking to the dealer for service, or girlfriend or brother or friend drive it. YOUR IN FOR TROUBLE! My old GS got the front end smashed 2X at the car wash by some responsible adult driver who stepped on both. It a learning curve dude. my 2 cents

weird... Im experiencing this right now I just installed some CF RAzo pedals and yes they are way close together maybe 2 inches.... I guess it'll take some getting used to...and yes I alredy hit both pedals at the same time when trying to brake.... kinda scary ..........but looks good Im going to try to some how move the brake pedal over a bit

Hey guys. The problem with those pedals are that they are made to mimick the F-1 racer style pedals in which they are very closely placed together so the driver can do that sick " heel-to-toe" manouvre everytime they are turning over an apex or whatever.....
I knew this because I had to have them during my autocrossing days back in MI.

Heel and Toe
This techinque allows the driver to use one foot for the brake and accellerator in conjuction with the goal of keeping the revs high. It allows for less time to "pick up" the gas exiting corners and will increase exit speed and result in quiker lap times if performed correctly-
