Sorry for the noobie question, but are all pedals build to some standard size? Can I just pick any performance replace pedals and put them in myself? Thanks.
I'm hoping you're just speaking of pedals for the appearance to make it look more sporty? You realize this is a Prius right? To each his own I guess. I'm sure there are pedal covers out there that will work. Not like it's any different from any other automatic car when it comes to pedals.
A note of caution here. While I don't have a Gen III, what I see in my Gen II suggests that adding a generic pedal appearance set may not be a good thing. Not really bad or unsafe, just not good if you're looking for good-2-high MPGs. On the Gen II: * The "go-pedal," accelerator, and its supporting arm are a single, hard, smooth (one might even say slippery), light weight plastic casting without a covering pad. * The brake pedal and its supporting arm is a unitized single metal piece with a soft, somewhat sticky rubber covering pad. (Could one of the Fortunate Few Gen III owners check what the current arrangement is?) Why does the brake pedal get a protective pad, but not the go-pedal? I suspect it has to do with the very small pedal movement that we use to move between blue arrow regen, no arrow glide, and yellow arrow electric drive. The go-pedal/shoe combination is the interface between the demi-intelligence of the HSD and the assumed higher intelligence of the operator. It is probably a near-slippery smooth surface for a purpose and making it thicker and stickier may add some static at the interface, as when some posters have experienced that wearing heavy winter boots nets them lower FE/MPGs... just a thought. Automotively speaking this is a case of, What is purportedly good for the goose (non-Prii), is not necessarily anticipatibly good for the gander (our beloved Prii).
