The problematic part is a rug, not the pedal

Edit: Nevermind, misread at 2 am

so the pedal fascia can slide up and get caught under the dash (there's a gap in the dash covers that it slides right into!?!?, no shit) or down and under the rug.

Either are very bad ideas for a pedal connected to that much power.

And why does the pedal need the plastic bit? because otherwise it would be unadorned, plain black.

I'm of the mind that I'd prefer my pedals simple, so they're less likely to kill someone lol.
