GP engraved aluminum pedal set

My GP engraved aluminum pedal set arrived today, a Christmas present from my wife that will be installed a few weeks early (tomorrow). She's the best

Thanks,
That's why I think GP means 'G'arys $ 'Pit'

Depending on finish and weather you use the domed grip inserts, the price range would be between $240 to $290 a set with the engraving on the foot rest and heel-toe gas pedal.
Rob said he would do a group buy discount, the discount % would depend on the amount of people ordering.

Rob said that he would give 25% off on orders of 5 to 9 sets, 30% off on 10 to 19 sets. The endraving is $10 per pedal but is not subject to the discount.
The website is ultimatepedals.com.
I will call him Monday to make sure the info is correct.
I would be interested in another set for my wife's mini

Gary, what does the install involve? Do you have to drill out the stock pedals after removing the covers?

Yes, the brake/clutch used 2 small bolts each, the heel-toe pedal used 2 screws and 3 screws in the foot rest. Once you figured out which holes your using to attach though you then put the rubber domes in the remaining holes.
I did not use the stock shaped mini brake/clutch pedals, I used the Ferrari ones, I got the idea from a old posting I found here on NAM.

Mine were around $290 with the engraving, but if 10 or more sets are ordered you would get 30% off, which brings it down to a fraction over $200. Rob also has less expensive finishes that still look great.

I spoke to Rob today, the group buy is arranged, the way Rob's website works though is that you have to order the pedals at reg cost through the site then he credits you later the discount once the total # of orders is known. The reason for this is his website is not set up to do group buys. I will post the link later.
BTW if 20 or more orders are done then the discount is 35% .

What pedals did you get for brake and clutch. I know they are different from MINI ones.
Thanks again.
