A casual observer probably wouldn't notice anything was wrong, but it was the first thing I saw, and annoyed me every time I got in the truck.

Here’s the pedal with the LMC trim. It doesn’t look too bad, but the photo doesn’t show the lousy surface finish either:

And finally here’s the assembled pedal with the Counterpart trim installed. To me this looks just like OEM and I’m very pleased with it:


That's it for now.
looks great! I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so it would have annoyed me too that the LMC one was just "not right"...you should send the pictures to LMC to show them how it "should" be
