Or you can make your own. I made a piece that I riveted onto the gas pedal that was shaped like an inverted "L" out of heavy aluminum. It extends the top of the pedal to the left so that you can "blip" the gas with your toe while keeping your heel on the brake. I covered it with some of that anti-slip tape. Forget that aftermarket stuff that makes your car look like a "race car". Fabricate something just like the "real" racers do! (Cheaper too). James Blumenfeld 87 gti
