Default Metal sports pedals installed

I bought metal aluminium sports pedals for my RX from Ali exprees. It was easy to install those. I have some pictures of those. All you have to do remove the plastic cover for brake and E-brake pedals and allign with metal pedals and drill it. You tighnted the screws which came with pedals. For the gas and foot rest pedal drill over the plastic and tightned the screws. You done. You need a drill, 90 degree drill adapter, drill bits and screw driver.

I always loved the IS300 metal pedals, and putting the metal pedals in mine was one of my first modifications.

How are these pedals during wet conditions, or rather when your shoes are wet?

Yeah, I saw those. I was wondering if those were sufficient though.

I also order from AlliExpress and extremely slow shipping. I would of gotten the rounder ones if I knew if it was available.

I also would like to know, has the rubber circles worn down over time losing their grip?

Feels like strong rubber but time will say later.
