Pedals installed... Pain!!

Im glad I only have to install this stuff once. They look nice installed but I wouldn't do it again. Here is a picture in case anyone was wondering what they look like installed.

Yep, its a pain because of the position you have to be in for in a long enough time that it can be hard on the shoulders and back....unless your young and flexible and in great shape.

I'm not speaking for the OP, but my experience with these pedals is the factory brake and clutch pedals are HARD steel that makes it difficult to drill the holes for the billet pedals mounting. My guess is if they weren't hard steel they would bend and distort under hard pressure--not a good thing for brakes or a clutch.

The brake and clutch is thick steel and it took a couple minutes in a very awkward position to drill the holes to mount these. The gas pedal I was able to drill right into the plastic for mounting it, however, the provided bolts were not long enough due to the thickness of the plastic behind the pedal so I went to lowes and purchased some longer bolts to mount the gas pedal. I drove about 3 hours with these on today and they feel nice. I had a couple of times where my foot was resting on the gas and brake at the same time so I quickly was able to re-adjust and eliminate that. Overall, Im very happy with these and they are of very high quality. I would definitely recommend them and they look great once installed. I just wouldn't want to be the person installing them again.

I've seen versions that use "brackets" for installation. Not something I would trust, can you imagine a pedal cover coming loose and preventing proper brake/gas movement? Not pretty. I would only trust solidly mounted pedal covers that bolt on.
