They are pre production units before the legal team influenced PDev in consideration of the floor mat incident.

Blame the frivolous suit lawyers that keep attacking firms around the world...

I have done "Ultimate pedals" in two cars now and I love them. In my RX-7 I have my "Don't Panic" logo on the brake pedal. They can customize the shape of each pedal if you want. smooth gas pedal, grippy brake etc, etc. They curve them perfectly for the car.
http://www.ultimatepedals.com/ I would wait untill you've driven the car to see if you a little extention for heel/toe, or a lot, or none.

This foot shaped one actually does help heel and toe if mounted upside down you know... No joke! We've done that in old AE86's back in the days!!
Just make sure the floor mat stays in place, so we don't see it disappear from the marketplace as well!!

Interesting, as the Canadian FR-S brochure shows the "heel-toe"pedals, and was actually stated on the literature (p. 7/12):
http://s3.amazonaws.com/scion.site.p...on_FR-S_en.pdf Not sure if this will actually be in the production model. Also note the black RPM guage vs. the white. |

The models I have seen in Canada did not have the wider pedal.

I looked at the back side of the pedal and it was hard to tell with it in the car, but it looks like other common Toyota wider pedals should fit the rod, the only issue is that the Zx6 has what looks like a pedal stopper built into the pedal that would not be there if using the 78101-20150 pedal. The 2010 Camry SE had this pedal with a stopper on the back of it, but the pedal is only available as an assembly (78110-33060). Still it seems like coming up with some sort of stopper wouldn't be too hard.
Still, I had no real trouble heel-toeing in the car with the smaller pedal. Jeff
