Hi everyone,

I am not sure the rules on posting something like this, or where it should even go...maybe a 'sticky' thing? Not even sure that is the best title, this online stuff is not really my area (not sure if 'Announcement' is even right word, lol). Anyways, I, like many people on here, have a car that has just the plain rubber dead pedal for my LHD car. Kia did at least let us buy the other two pedal sport versions, but the dead pedal is not available. You need to look at junk yards, used parts, things like that.

Well, some people on here were lucky enough to find them aftermarket for RHD cars, as shown here:

So, I reached out to the person who makes these on Etsy, Mat from AutoCOVR, in Poland (autoCOVR | Etsy), and asked if he would do the same for LHD (North America, at the least) cars. He said, 'sure, if you can help me design it,' and so he and I have been going back and forth for the past few weeks, with me taking measurements, pictures, etc, and he has sent me a mockup to print out and test (I will do that tomorrow) on my own pedal. Will be trial and error, but I wanted to share this in case people are interested. I now also have a mockup pic of his design. It will just be a cover you stick on. The people who already bought from him for the RHD version can attest to it being a good product, I am sure, feel free to ask them from the post I linked above.

Here is a pic of his design. I like it better than the stock, with the Stinger logo he has on there. Once we are sure the measurements, design all work, he will create them and put them up for sale. Just wanted to let everyone know, and maybe weigh in on the design as he is looking for input. I mean, it is just a rectangle, lol, but I think the way he does it is a good match to the Kia sport pedals. Below is the digital mockup and below that is a picture of the one he does for RHD already, matched up with the Kia sport pedals. I think it looks great, personally. I will update once we get things finalized, he gets production going, etc.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thats awesome! Nice job on going out and getting it done. Whats the end cost going to be?
 
He said it would be the same as before, I think around 50 bucks. Same as what junk yards charge for used ones (unless you can bargain with them I am sure). Still, these have the logo etched in which is a nice touch, or at least I think. Anything is better than the stock rubber piece!

Agreed, the logo is very cool. And no doubt better than the rubber piece
 
Thanks for the feedback! Anyone else? Curious about who is looking for one. I will be buying one, obviously, lol.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Can you provide a link when available?
Yes, of course. Just to be clear, none of this is 'mine', no benefit to me other than being able to finally get one of these for my own car, I am buying one too! I just figured that sharing it with everyone might help people out.
 
Hi everyone, so it took a while but I finally got my new dead pedal today! Here are the pics. He does not have them up yet because I just messaged him that it fit right. You can see for yourselves. It is just strong tape and it sits right on top of the stock dead pedal. Looks like a great match to the other pedals and I love the logo being there.

His site is this, he does a bunch of stuff you can see there too, I will update once he says he is putting them up for sale. I do hope people like them/are interested. I know what I went through trying to get one and now there is an actual source online which is great.

Not the best pics as it was really bright. I might re-do them, as I like the first one but as you can see I am already using it lol.

Nice job on sourcing that out! Looks really good.
 
Thanks, it really does....matches the other sport pedals from Kia nicely. It is thin so you don't notice a difference in height when you put your foot on it.

Sweet! Yes, he is in Europe and was already making those. That was how I found him!
