How hard their feet were pressing on that dead pedal, IDK, but their stories were just as you said; big piece of plastic they had to kick out from behind the brake pedal...........

The first aluminum unit that was made for BHR had a diamond plate grip surface that I thought was cool but the place that made it also did a second unit that has a dimpled surface similar to stock. The dimpled surface is a much better look.

If there is any serious interest I guess I could have a run of aluminum dead-pedals built in the middle of all the waiting for the Yukon coils to become available again.

If it comes with a couple BHR stickers, I'm in!

No sir, I think my ignition was shipped out before you had the stickers in your possession.

Ancient thread. I hate people who put feet on dashboards. I would say take them off now. Also shoes on seats. Well those people will be able to fit into a box when the airbags pop out on them.

I cured my wife of this habit by pointing out to her that if the passenger-side airbag were to go off while she had her foot up on the dash it would take that foot and ram it into her face and out the back of her skull. Nice imagery.
