Can't wait to see them man! In response to earlier post about the anodized finish rubbing off: I don't think it will because of the pads on the pedals, they take most of the wear.....but if you are going with grey pads, they will get really dirty....unless you drive with only socks on. Maybe you could be like those motorbike riders that have nice new shoes on and put a sock over your shoe...except in your case not to get the pedals dirty. :P Also, the door pins should see no wear and tear since you shouldn't need to touch them. Get on with the pics!

They will look sweet as heck, my only concern is for how long....thoughts are that the anod will come off kinda easily...

from knowing what color your car is, i defenitively taught that the pedals would be silver...never knew that they even made black ....but either way...looks good just looking at them from your hand...cant wait to see them on the car....congrats

If you read the post above, it says that he had them anodized, not by Brabus, but Spec Electroplating. And actually, the black will go with his interior because it is black now.

The anodization is Mil-spec (naturally), so I don't think it will be coming off anytime soon.

Even if I have to re-anodize every few years, it's no big deal.

C280JR: they DON'T come in black... (the thread got nuked by the server crash)
