Question Your thoughts regarding Porsche pedal, brake, clutch, driver foot rest, gas pedal set

Hi folks,
Need help buying Porsche pedal set for 2004 Carrera Manual Transmission 996.

Please see link:

and also this link:

I read a few forums regarding pedal sets and I would like to know if the above sets are of good quality and standard for the price. ~$75-$85.

How important is Heel to Toe Extension or shiny or frosted or domes grip insert or flat grip insert?

Please offer suggestions and web-links to pedals you suggest.

Thanks.

I will assume you don't have it in yet? Please post photos and your feedback once you install and play with them. I would like to know if there are any foot slippage or if its raining will it be more slippery or if there are any faulty nuts, bolts, screws or if it gets loose (fitment issues) and lastly if it is easily damaged?

I had the Porsche set and changed to these FVD pedals. I prefer the finish on these...they blend in better with the other silver interior components. I'm also planning on getting an FVD steering wheel at some point so I like the tie-in aspect of that.
