DIY: Installing aftermarket aluminum pedals....

Finally got mine installed. Very tight fit under there, I recommend getting something like Mod used.

Quick question for Modshack:
~Did you remove the dead pedal cover that came with the car or just add over it?

So I am a bit confused. It looks like for the gas pedal, there is nothing to remove, you just mark the pilot holes over the existing pedal?

For the Gas and clutch, remove the rubber pads, align the new pedals and again mark for drilling:
Should that be "For the brake and clutch" instead?

Correct.
Remove the covers for brake and clutch... just drill and cover the accelerator.

Cool, thanks. I think I'm going to go ahead and order the grid design ones. Now I just need to buy one of these:

Do you think this one would have enough torque to drill through the brake pedal?

edit: Nevermind I didn't realize that was $120. I guess I'll try one of those smaller angled drills instead. Maybe something like this http://www.amazon.com/Professional-G...5307352&sr=1-1

Harbor freight had one advertised last weel for $29.....either would be Good enough for limited use!

And yeah onthe torque.....The pedals are regular steel and drill relatively easily. When I did this on a Hardened steel pedal on my Audi years ago I had much more trouble. The Z is cake..

On a note for the torque made from the millwaukee angle drill... Uh yeah that'll do it. We had a guy at work catch the one we have in some .25 mild steel with a .375 dill bit and it twisted his wrist when it caught so bad it swole up. Hold on to your angle drills tight people.

How does the brake and gas pedal match up for heel toe. OEM set is a little bit of a strecth, though you can do it but with a little discomfort.

I have not tested it, but with the extended part of the gas pedal I would say it helps, plus you can also pick where you mount the gas pedal. So if you want to push it left just a 1/8 of an inch you can do that to create a better connection between gas/brake.
