Obviously, I have no life. 
Working on my FC on a Friday night. I ordered a set of Bead Blasted pedals from Sled Driver on Monday, they got here yesterday. I wish all my online purchases went that well. Anyway, these things rock. They look great and I can heel-toe a bit easier now too. Check em out.

speaking of pedals... when I got my car the previous owner had installed a pedal cover on the gas pedal, but he used about 1.5" long self tapping wood screws to mount it. One day leaving a light I floored it and the pedal stuck to the carpet, the screw had tapped itself in, I almost rear ended a truck ended up pushing in the clutch and letting it peg the rev limiter while prying the pedal off the floor with combat boots.
after discovering the screws, I removed the pedal cover and then learned it was previously keeping the pedal from obtaining WOT ! hah, the car was faster without the 'performance' pedal cover.
just a fun story thought i'd share, bored at work.
note: I do not think the S4 NA has a rev limiter, but it hit some kind of limit, maybe ran out of fuel, i'm not sure but something happened... it didnt effect the car though, ran fine afterwards.
