needs to come off to put the new pedal on. its aluminum with rubber buttons all over. look much better than the 03's standard chevy black rubber ones. let me know

This took longer than I care to admit to take off, because it is on there pretty tight. I had the most problem on the bottom part of the accelerator pedal because the rubber is pretty thick there and it is really snugly fit in that area.

I finally got frustrated and clipped a portion off of the rubber to slide off... :v !

I did the same on my E55 without thinking twice. I took a sharp box cutter and clipped off the rubber piece.

Well its not an 05 pedal...as it didnt come in my 05 e55. I think you are talking about the pedals that come either on teh SL55 or the new C classes.

My CL55 has the pedals...personally I'd get the AMG knock-offs. At least they say AMG and actually look pretty cool vs. the ones I have on my CL.

I think it's an '05.5 pedal. I received my E55 on Friday and I have the aluminum pedals with the rubber buttons. I think if your car was manufactured after December 2004, you got these pedals.

Ah, didnt know that. In that case, do you have the part numbers? Did it have a matching dead pedal too?

I'll see if I can find a part number, but there's no dead pedal. Just the accelerator, brake and parking brake pedals (three total).
