^ those are nice. Jason, is heel/toe easy for you in this car? I think the gas pedal is a little far back to make that easy. I took off my clutch and brake pedal covers and replaced them with grip tape - that gave me a 1/4" change.

Ours are especially blingy, we got the red ones.

No, heel/toe in the Yaris is a pain, it is one of the most frustrating cars I have found. We went the other way and put a 1/4" aluminum spacer under the brake pedal cover to help even it up with the throttle. I also changed to a low top driving shoe to help get enough articulation, even then I often found myself pegging the throttle and banging the limiter on downshifts.

I was ready to change the pedals again, but we found moving the steering wheel and seating position (further back and down) seemed to fix the problem. I did not have any problems at the Miller race with the new setup.
