It there anyone installed foot rest(dead pedal) to SLK? I'm feeling very uncomfortable about my left foot. I found dead pedals from eBay, but they look different from SLK pedals. If anyone found and installed, please post pictures. Thanks.
Foot Rest(Dead Pedal) for slk?

For the old SLK, some people found/bought a second acceleration pedal, and fixed this in place as a dead pedal.
Or if you want to make the interior prettier, you could always get a Brabus pedal set that has a dead pedal too (quite a few manufacturers have such options).

The Mats, which are well away from the pedals and secured, cover the foot rest area, so you could just use mats.
Yes, I added this inexpensive dead pedal...
Here's a photo of the dead pedal I added. It is the brake pedal from a pedal set I bought from AutoZone for $20 -- specifically, the Performance Pedal Set for Automatic Transmissions, Titanium, Item #7728 made by Redline. The manufacturer also makes a brighter, more chrome-like pedal, but it is not as good a match as the Titanium color, as I recall.
I considered attaching it with self-tapping screws, but ended up simply using Velcro loop-and-hook tape with adhesive backing. This allows easy removal for cleaning.
It's not a perfect match for the SLK55 pedals, but it is close enough and it functions well. Although the carpet shows through the holes, this should prevent the carpet from being worn excessively in that area. (Another one of those items that MB "forgot" and could add to the next SLK update.)
